I’ve got a R6 environment where users need to be able to send mail to another Domino domain. We have a copy of their address book as a secondary address book configured under Directory Assistance (the copy is regularly updated by copying a new copy over the existing one - not by Notes replication). We have internet mail routing out via SMTP through a linux relay box. We also need all the mail to that domain to go the same route, as we are not allowed to establish Notes mail connectivity. However, since the addressee is found in the secondary address book, it is routed internally and so bounces until it fails. If we remove the addressee from the secondary address book, it routes fine (because it’s an unknown user), but then the names aren’t available for addressing purposes. If we use the recipient’s internet mail address, that routes correctly – but we need to be able to route to their Notes address (due to agents mailing to Notes addresses and also groups). A SmartHost doesn’t work because it doesn’t get mail for known people. The main problem seems to be that the Foreign and non-adjacent Domain document don’t allow for routing via a relay but demand a Notes domain.
Is there any way I can define that mail headed for a given domain should be routed to the relay via smtp?
