Description

According to the HCL product documentation, ReportUseMail allows the Reporter task to use the mail router (instead of a direct network connection) to send statistics to another server in the same Domino domain.
Verbatim from the HCL docs (HCL Domino 14.5.1):
  • Allows the Reporter task to use the Router to send statistics to another server in the same domain.
  • Default: None, although without the setting, the Reporter task uses the network to report statistics.
Values (per HCL Domino 14.5.1):
  • 1 — Use the Router (statistics are transmitted via the mail router)
  • 0 — Use the network (direct network transfer)
HCL adds in 14.5.1: Using the Router can be useful for reporting statistics over dial-up connections to a central collection server. — the mail-router path is particularly helpful for dial-up connections to a central collection server.
Without the parameter, the Reporter task reports its statistics via direct network connections. With ReportUseMail=1, the mail-router path is used instead — useful, for example, when no direct network connection to the target server is possible but mail routing works.

Example configuration

ReportUseMail=1
With ReportUseMail=1, the Reporter task uses the mail router; ReportUseMail=0 (or omitting the parameter) forces direct network transfer.

Notes & pitfalls

  • Without the parameter, according to HCL, the Reporter task uses the network; only with the parameter set is the mail router used.
  • Prerequisite: both servers are, according to HCL, in the same Domino domain.
  • According to HCL there is no direct GUI equivalent.
