Qualifiers
/ADDRESS_RETRIES=n
Optional. Default: 16.
Maximum number of different addresses to which SMTP will send as it tries to
deliver mail. Beyond this number of attempts, the message is undeliverable.
A message is also undeliverable if SMTP fails to deliver after it attempts all the
possible addresses from an MX lookup.
/GATEWAY=option=host
Optional. Default: None.
An alternate route through which SMTP sends mail if delivery fails.
• [NO]ALTERNATE=host
Alternate host or domain to which delivery is attempted.
Used by ZONE, if a zone is defined, as the last chance for delivery (see
the /ZONE qualifier).
NOALTERNATE deletes an existing alternate destination.
• [NO]GENERAL_PURPOSE=host
Gateway to handle non-SMTP mail, for example, UUCP addresses.
