Re: mail.box filled with (expletive deleted)

Have you configured mail relay rules in the configuration document? 

Populate the following fields.


Inbound Relay Controls

Allow messages to be sent only to the following external internet domains:

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

Deny messages from the following internet hosts to be sent to external

This document expires on 09/09/2003

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.
