Configuring Messaging Options for Remote Domains
Remote domains are used to control how automated messages are used
and to specify some types of messaging format options. To change the
default configuration for a remote domain, follow these steps:
-
In the Exchange Management Console, expand the Organization Configuration node, and select the Hub Transport node.
-
On the Remote Domains tab, right-click the remote domain you want to change, and then select Properties.
-
On the General tab, specify whether and how out-of-office messages are sent to the remote domain. The options are
-
Allow None Blocks all out-of-office messages.
-
Allow External Out-Of-Office Messages Only
Allows out-of-office messages to be received by the Exchange
organization, but does not allow the organization's out-of-office
messages to be sent
-
Allow External Out-Of-Office Messages And Legacy Out-Of-Office Messages
Allows out-of-office messages to be received by the Exchange
organization and receipt of out-of-office messages generated by
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Exchange 2003, or earlier
-
Allow Internal Out-Of-Office Messages And Legacy Out-Of-Office Messages
Allows out-of-office messages to be sent from the Exchange organization
and the sending of out-of-office messages generated by Outlook 2003,
Exchange 2003, or earlier
-
On the Message Format tab, specify how Exchange should format messages. Allow messaging options by selecting the related check boxes, or disallow messaging options by clearing the related check boxes. The options available are
-
Allow Automatic Replies Allows the sender to be notified that the message was received
-
Allow Automatic Forward Allows Exchange Server to forward or deliver a duplicate message to a new recipient
-
Allow Delivery Reports Allows Exchange Server to return delivery confirmation reports to the sender
-
Allow Non-Delivery Reports Allows Exchange Server to return nondelivery confirmation reports to the sender
-
Display Sender's Name On Messages Allows both the sender's name and e-mail address to appear on outbound e-mail messages
-
By default, text word-wrapping is disabled, which means that
Exchange enforces no maximum line length. If you'd like message text to
wrap at a specific line length, you can enable text word-wrapping at a
specific column position, such as 72 characters. Select the Use Message
Text Line Wrap At Column check box, and then enter the column position
for text line wrap.
-
If you want to send Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF)
message data to the remote domain rather than Exchange Rich-Text
format, select Never Use under Exchange Rich-Text Format.
-
To set a specific MIME and non-MIME character set, enter the
character set code in the text boxes provided. Click OK to save your
settings.
In the Exchange Management Shell, you can use the Set-RemoteDomain cmdlet to configure remote domains. Example 3 provides the syntax and usage.
