NextHopServer - Null-terminated string containing the name of the next server to route the message to. The maximum length (in bytes) for this parameter is MAXUSERNAME.

NextHopMailbox - Null-terminated string containing the mailbox file name on the next hop server. The maximum length (in bytes) for this parameter is MAXPATH.

ErrorText - If an error occurs, a formatted null-terminated string describing the problem. This message is intended to be returned to the originator. The maximum length (in bytes) for this parameter is MAXSPRINTF.

NextHopFlags - Additional flags describing the next hop server. If NEXTHOP_INTRANET bit is set, the next hop server is on the same network as the current server. If NEXTHOP_USESMT bit is set, SMTP will be used to reach the next hop server.
