Enabling "Verify connecting hostname in DNS" will result in increased connection times. When enabled, Domino will attempt to find a PTR record in DNS for each host that attempts to establish a connection with Domino. If no PTR record is located in DNS, the connection will be denied. Be aware that PTR records are not a required DNS record. Domino potentially could reject connections from valid hosts with this feature enabled. Using the "Allow connections only from..." or "Deny connections from the following SMTP internet hostnames/IP addresses" fields can be used to control the hosts that are allowed or denied a connection to this Domino server via SMTP. Hostnames and IP addresses are allowed in these fields. If you choose to use IP addresses, be sure to enter them in brackets, for example: [192.168.10.17]. Entering hostnames or IP addresses in the "Allow connections only from the following SMTP internet hostnames/IP addresses:" field will allow only these hosts to connect to the Domino server. All other hosts are denied. For example, if abc.com was entered in the Allow field, only hosts belonging to the abc.com domain would be allowed to connect to the Domino server. If you enter a hostname/IP address in both the Allow and Deny fields, the Deny entries will take precedence over the Allow entries. 4.2.5 Inbound sender controls Inbound sender controls were introduced in Domino Release 5 and have remained unchanged in Domino 6.
