Delivery Options


When you create a message you can specify delivery options by clicking Delivery Options.

Option
Explanation
Delivery Report
Choose how you want to confirm delivery of a message:
  • Only on failure -- send a report only if the message cannot be delivered.
  • Confirm delivery -- send a report whether your message was delivered or not. You can use this for a "return receipt."
  • Trace entire path -- send a report from each server through which the message is routed, and a final report indicating whether the message was delivered.
  • None -- do not send a delivery report.
Delivery Priority
Choose one:
  • High -- Route the message immediately.
  • Normal -- Route the message the next time your mail server sends mail (default).
  • Low -- Wait until off-peak hours to route the message. (usually between midnight and 6:00 AM). If you use a modem or wide area network, this option can reduce the telephone charges.
Sign
Digitally sign a message.

Note This overrides your Mail security option preference for this message only.

Encrypt

Note This overrides your Mail security option preference for this message only.

Return Receipt
You receive a message that confirms the recipient has opened the message.

Note This option works only if the recipient opens your message using IBM(R) Lotus(R) iNotesTM or Lotus Notes(R).

Keep Private
Prevents a Lotus Notes or iNotes mail user from forwarding, replying to, copying into a new document, or printing this message.

Note This does not prevent a users from selecting the text and copying it, or from using a screen capture utility.

Note If the Sign and Encrypt options are not available, see your administrator.
