Description

Domino offers users the option to recall a message that has already been delivered to another recipient (message recall), provided the recipients and their mail server allow this feature. DisableMessageRecall=1 switches this capability off completely on the current server – recall is not executed for local mailboxes nor for outgoing recall requests originating here. Useful for compliance environments where, once delivered, messages must no longer be changed or removed.

Example configuration

DisableMessageRecall=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • The same effect can also be configured via the Configuration document (tab Router/SMTP → Restrictions and Controls → Recall) – preferably configure it there, as document-based settings are easier to administer.
  • Takes effect only after a restart or tell router quit / load router.
  • Also affects central recall actions via the mail file – not only the client action.
  • Already running recall requests will continue to be processed by the router; only new requests are blocked.
