LOG_MAILROUTING
Added by Harry Peebles, last edited by Harry Peebles on 04/30/2008
IBM provided information

This page has been reviewed and is maintained by IBM. Comments are welcome, but the information is not editable.

Explanation:
This setting specifies how much logging detail the mail router and SMTP task will send to the server console and log file. Value thresholds are as follows:
10 or higher to log Fatal and Error messages (Minimal)
20 or higher to also log some informational messages (Normal)
30 or higher to also log plenty of informational messages (Informational)
40 or higher for extremely verbose logging (Verbose)

Contrary to Technote 1085105, mail routing information can be substantially disabled when LOG_MAILROUTING=0 is used in combination with LOG_SESSIONS=0

This setting can also be configured in the Configuration Settings document under Router/SMTP, Message Disclaimers, Logging level. The available selections include Minimal (10), Normal (20), Informational (30) & Verbose (40). It is not possible to disable logging with a value of 0 from this interface. When the NOTES.INI variable is set, it's value will override any configuration defined in the Configuration Settings document.

Contrary to the "Ask Professor INI: Logging variables" article, this setting is not obsolete as of Domino 5.0.10. Rather, this setting continues to be valid as of Domino 8.5.

Default:
When this setting is absent, it's equivalent to it being set to 20.

Recommendation:
This setting should be set to a value below 20 in order to reduce unnecessary mail router and SMTP logging.

Restarts:
Configuration changes are automatically detected

Related Settings:
LOG_SESSIONS, LOG_DISABLE_SESSION_INFO, LOG_REPLICATION, LOG_UPDATE
