HCL Domino 10 and 11 - Messaging Features

New messaging features you NEED to know about in Domino 10 and 11

Document Deletion Logging: R10
Have you ever need to figure out who deleted a document in a Notes app? Well, you can find it now.
It is a very low performance hit. You can enable it on all dbs if you like. You need to enable it on each database.
load compact mail\myapp.nsf -dl on "$TITLE, From, Subject, DeliveredDate" (you can track any 4 fields from the document)
When enabled is creates: delete.log in the tech_support folder. It is never overwritten. When the server is restarted the old log is saved with a date/time stamp.

DAOS Tier 2 storage to an S3-compatible storage service. Uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Service (S3) API.
Currently supported systems are; AWS S3 and MinIO
If you want to stop using S3, you can easily copy your data back to the server.
First you must has DAOS configured. Then you can enable S3 storage. You setup the connection to your storage in the server document, then you tell it how old an attachment needs to be before it get's moved to S3 storage.
Example: use DAOS on local storage, then configure S3 to move from DAOS to S3 storage after 90 days.

Scheduled Messages. Must have the Mail10+ template on Domino 10+. It need the Domino 10 router or higher to deal with the delayed mail routing.
Can be enabled/disabled in the server config doc. So the server can do it.
But to enable it for people, you need to use a Mail Policy Setting to "Allow users to schedule when messages are delivered".
Now when a user wants to Delay Delivery, they click delivery options and choose when to send it.
This feature uses a new field on the message; "$SentAt". So you could set that in Agents that send email if you like. The $SentAt field is what the router uses.
You can see delayed messages in the router queue using these Domino commands
Tell Router List
Tell Router Show

Automatic Dead mail processing Requires R10+. You can tell the router to delete Dead mail after N number of days
Show Stat Mail.Dead.RetryCount
Show Stat Mail.Dead.DeletedCount

Second Signature for Reply/forward messages.
You can enable a second signature to apply to messages that are "Replies" or "Forwards". It's common to set one signature with more detail on emails, but configure a more concise signature on replies and forwarded messages.
