The SMTPMTA Work Queue Template is a special database, used to automatically create a work queue database that holds mail in transit to or from the Internet The filename of the database is either SMTPOBWQ.NSF or SMTPIBWQ.NSF.
The SMTPMTA Work Queues are automatically created on a Notes Server the first time the SMTPMTA is run.
Check this work queue if you suspect there is a problem with mail delivery.
To the Server Administrator:
Review the following to become familiar with this template.
NOTE: In general, a server's SMTPMTA Work Queues should not be accessible to Notes users.
Access Control List:
On a Notes server
, the Access Control List is set up so that by default, the server administrator and the server are defined as managers.
The default access is Depositor.
The administrator maintains the access control list. He/she may change the default access or add additional managers.
On a workstation
, the person whose ID is active when Workstation-based mail is selected will be defined as manager of the Mailbox.
