Automatically sending emails from within the web application

Hi,

We have implemented an web application for our client and looking to make some enhancements inlcuding sending auto. emails to users of the system based on some events within app. As I have not done any email/SMTP setup before, I have the following questions:

  • We have Lotus Enterprise server installed with SMTP enabled (on development machine), can it act as the mail server to send automatic emails? (ONLY need to send emails no need to receive).

  • Are Lotus Notes Enterprise server and Mail server bundled together? i.e. if we install Lotus Enterprise server, does it mean that Mail server is also installed ?

  • If yes, what we need to do from configuration point of view in order to send emails from the web application.

I would really appreciate any response/insight into this.

Thanks

From a licensing perspective, yes…Enterprise server allows you to send mail. It will route SMTP mail just fine if allowed to do so by firewalls, ISP’s etc. I recommend you open the Administrator Help and review the section on mail routing configurations.
