Domino Connection


Domino Mail Part Settings

Use the Domino mail part settings window to determine the properties of a mail part. A non-visible mail part is used to create Domino documents to be mailed by the Domino mail system.

A mail part can be set up to match a Domino form of a specific database (normally the mail file of a user), which can be achieved by specifying the appropriate Domino connection alias and the form name on the settings pages.

You also have to connect the Domino mail part to a mailbox database. You do this by specifying a second connection alias on the appropriate settings page. Depending on your Domino setup, the mailbox database may be local or on your mail server. Please ask your system administrator if you are nor sure where your mailbox is located. Specifying the wrong mailbox will prevent the part from functioning properly.
