Set Up Smarthost

After you have set up reinjection and registered the IP of your outbound mail
server in the Administration Console, set the

relayhost

parameter to route mail to

the email security system. This will set Outbound Services as the smarthost.

Domino stops processing queued messages when delivery of a message fails or
the relay host is perceived to be down or unreachable. Setting the Retry Interval to
a lower value allows the queue to start moving again more quickly.
