Agent is intended to run on "Server1", not on "Server2"

Hello @all,

there are 2 Domino servers, both R 6.5.1. Server1 acts as an application server, Server2 as a mail server. Mail routing between the two is working fine.

On Server1 there is an application accepting mails via a mail-in-document. When mail is delivered to the db, an agent should run to take some actions. The agent (Lotus Script) is defined to be fired up after new mail arrives.

The mail is delivered correctly to the db. After a few seconds at the server console the following message appears: “Amgr: the agent is intended to run on Server2, not Server1”. And the agent does not run. All the ACL’s and server documents (agent restrictions) are set up correctly.

Why does the agent try to run on Server2, when the mail is delivered to the db on Server1? How can I get rid of this?

When I modify the agent from “after mail arrives” to “scheduled…” ALWAYS Server2 appears in the field “Run on server”. After changing to Server1, saving the agent and editing again Server2 is again in the field (which should be of no interest for “after mail arrives” - or?).

The whole scenario worked fine a long time with Domino servers 5.x. After migrating to 6.5.1 I have this problem.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Unless you take steps to get around the problem, the following is true: An agent that is triggered by “After New Mail Arrives” will ONLY run on the designated mail server for the user who signs the agent.

The limitation can be disabled by adding the following line to the notes.ini file on the server:

AMGR_DisableMailLookup=1

After that line has been added to the notes.ini file, it will be necessary to restart the Agent Manager task on the server. To do so, issue the following console command:

TELL AMGR QUIT

Once the Agent Manager has stopped, issue the following console command to restart the Agent Manager:

LOAD AMGR
