SMTP tab
Use this tab to configure the SMTP protocol for incoming and outgoing Internet email.

Max bulk mail
The maximum number of outbound SMTP sessions that can be used to transfer mail messages with priority set to bulk. 
This number must be less than the value specified in the Basic Internet Setup's "Max outgoing mail" field. Decreasing this number means messages assigned Bulk priority are more likely to wait until off-peak hours before being sent, and other messages will be sent more regularly.
Delivery retry time
The time to wait between each retry of a failed transmission.
Max delivery retries
The maximum number of times to retry a failed transmission. Some large sites (for example, aol.com) require many retries at peak periods.

The time to wait for a command or a response to a command from an SMTP server before disconnecting.
SMTP greeting timeout
The time to wait for an initial response after attempting a connection to an SMTP server before disconnecting.
SMTP data timeout

POP3 general timeout
The time to wait between commands from a POP3 client after the user logs in before disconnecting the client.

Route through one server

IP address
The IP address of the server you want all mail routed to. This is only applicable if you selected "Route through one server".
BITNET relay host
The IP address or domain name of the computer that relays any mail your users address to the BITNET network.
