The following information about this task is important to remember.
- Each Internet domain that a company owns and uses for Internet mail requires a corresponding valid Global Domain document. The document must be in a Domino Directory that replicates to the service during directory synchronization. During account setup, the Global Domain document is used to show the domain in a list of domains to be verified.
- Routing of incoming Internet mail addressed to service users is configured and done on-premises. The service performs outbound Internet mail routing only.
- Only two fields in the section of a Global Domain document are used by the service: Local primary Internet domain and Alternate Internet domain aliases. The remaining fields in the SMTP Address Conversions section apply to incoming Internet mail and are therefore ignored by the service.
