Message Delivery Options

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

Use the Delivery tab to set all delivery and routing options. Settings can be grouped into three categories, which are listed below.

Routing Options

  • Smart host: Designates a server through which to route all outgoing messages.

  • Message hop count: Determines the maximum number of servers a message is routed through before being considered undeliverable.

  • Fully qualified domain name (FQDN): Clarifies the address to use in message exchanger (MX) records.

Transmission Options

  • Retry attempts and retry interval: Determines how many times to resend a message, and at what intervals, before the message is considered undeliverable.

  • Delivery using Pickup directory: Allows you to transmit messages composed as a text file.

Security Options

  • Outbound security: Allows you to use authentication and Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for outgoing messages.

  • Reverse DNS lookup: Verifies that the message actually originated from the computer and the domain listed in the From field.

  • Masquerade domains: Replaces any local domain name used in any Mail From lines in the protocol with a different domain name. This is the name you want stamped on outgoing messages.
