Some weeks ago a customer called me complaining that Domino was not working anymore and, guess what, we find out that somebody was sending a big memo to hundreds of people, memo containing a big attachment!

How to deal with that case? No way.... Unless you read the really useful AdminBlast 2012 slides from Paul Mooney (tip #21) and also the following IBM Technote:

How to avoid performance issues related to mass email delivery in Lotus Domino


You just need two notes.ini settings:

RouterMaxEffectiveSizeIncAttach=1

RouterMaxEffectiveSize=xxx (where xxx is in kilobytes.)

When enabled, this restriction will cause the router to present the Non-Delivery Failure (NDF) message when the number of recipients multiplied by the message size (in k bytes) is greater than the value specified by the notes.ini setting. The value of the RouterMaxEffectiveSize=setting is set in KB.

Why Quickr fix pack installer fails? Wed, Feb 29th 2012 8:14p Cristian D'Aloisio Recently I had to install the latest Fix Pack on Quickr 8.5.1 for Domino, # 25, on a Windows box.

Wired: IBM's Suarez and his e-mail-less experience Sat, Jan 21st 2012 6:11p Cristian D'Aloisio For Suarez, it’s not just more efficient. It’s a nicer way to communicate. There’s a “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” kind of passive-aggressiveness to the way many people use corporate e-mail, with the strategic bcc and the cover-your-ass e-mail message. “If you have been using e-mail in a corporate environment, you know that plenty of people use e-mail as a weapon against their own colleagues,” he says. “This was also creating a new way of working where you wouldn’t need to jus [read] Keywords: ibm blogger
