Domino smtp routing

Hi All,

I have a question regarding routing of SMTP mail. What I want

is to be able to route outbound SMTP emails going to a certain

domain to a connected Domino server and another domain to

a connected SMTP server. Setting it up to go to another

Domino server was easy using Global Domain documents and

Foreign SMTP documents. However, when trying to set up

foreign SMTP documents for smtp mail to go to a non domino

smtp server, the domino router says it cannot find route to

that domain. E.g.

MyDomino/Site1 :

user doc for user1:

user1 internet addr = user1@site1.sites.com

user1 forwarding addr = user1@site5.sites.com

foreign smtp doc contains mapping of site5.sites.com to

domino domain: OtherDomino/Site5

user doc for user2:

user2 internet addr = user2@site1.sites.com

user2 forwarding addr = user2@site10.sites.com

foreign smtp doc contains mapping of site10.sites.com to

internet host: smtpserver.site10.sites.com

When sending to user2, the router says:

forwarded to user2@site10.sites.com

followed by:

No route found to domain site10.sites.com

I found that I can only send to user2 if I create a configuration

document and specify smtpserver.site10.sites.com as the

relay host, however, this causes the email to user1 to go to

that server as well.

Is there a way around this.

TIA.

You need to use Foreign Domain documents as well. These can be used (in conjunction with an appropriate connection document) to route SMTP mail sent to a specific SMTP domain via a specific server.

Read the sections in the administrators help that relate to mail routing topologies. There are examples there I think.

Foreign Domain/Connection is the ‘old’ (but still useful) way of configuring SMTP routing. Configuration documents are the ‘new’ way (since R5). You often find a combination of both.
