Verifying sender's hostname and/or domain does prevent valid mail from
coming through, I have tried them and lost mail from some of our remote
users, using their DSL connection, and from a vendor using their T1
connection, because they are not recognized in DNS.  Hope that helps.

Also concerning your second question:

What is the difference between:

Deny messages to be sent to the following external internet domains: (*
means all)
*

and

Deny messages from the following internet hosts to be sent to external
internet domains:(* means all)
*
the first one when set, will prevent anyone from your domain to send
messages to all external domains, whereas the second one prevents anyone
from using your server as a relay to outside domains.

We run our SMTP on a separate Domino partition.  We have it configured to
use 4 mailboxes; thus we have a mail1.box, mail2.box, mail3.box and a
mail4.box.  Each of these has over 1,200 messages stacked up in them.  And
we clear them out no less than once a week.

Many of the entries in these files will have a from address, and a to
address that is meaningless to me.  Sample from address:  Eugenie Moorer
<Jinnyuj@xxxxxx>.  Sample to address:  Jinnyuj@xxxxxxx

We are running Domino 5.0.12 on our 840-23EA iSeries running V5R2 of
OS/400.

In my Server Configuration document we have "Deny messages from the
following internet hosts to be sent to external internet domains:(* means
all)" set to *.

In the Server Configuration document, in the "Inbound Connection Controls"
section there is a field "Verify connecting hostname in DNS".
Would enabling that stop this junk?
Would enabling that stop valid email?

In the Server Configuration document, in the "Inbound Sender Controls"
section there is a field "Verify Sender's domain in DNS".
Would enabling that stop this junk?
Would enabling that stop valid email?

The problem is this:  I can see valid email in the mailx.box.  However the
junk is slowing down the process to the point in which the valid email is
not distributed to the individuals.  I say again, I send mail from my
yahoo account to my Notes account.  It arrives into the mailx.box and sits
there.
