Description

DefaultMailTemplate defines which mail template the Domino Administrator proposes by default when creating new mail files (registering new users, "Create Mail File" actions). This makes it possible to ensure across a domain or server that all new mail files are based on a consistent, up-to-date template – without administrators having to manually select the template each time.

Example configuration

DefaultMailTemplate=mail14.ntf

Notes & pitfalls

  • Acts only as a default for new mail files; existing mail files are not migrated.
  • Overridden by a mail policy if an effective policy sets a mail template.
  • The specified template must exist in the Domino data directory (or a configured template path).
  • On version upgrades, check whether the value should be adjusted to the new template (e.g. mail14.ntf instead of mail12.ntf).
