Forcing use of Internet addr.?

Is there a way to force the server to use the Internet address of a user in the same Domino Domain, but on a server in a different Notes Named Network without the use of Forwarding or entering the Internet address in the first entry of the FullName field of the person document of the recipient ?

The case is that “User A” (on “serverA” in Domino Domain “CommonDomain”, in NNN=“NetworkA”) is trying to send message to “User B” (on “serverB” in Domino Domain “CommonDomain”, in NNN=“NetworkB”), and the mail should be routed via SMTP, via RelayHost = “MailRelay”.

But how do I “tell” serverA to switch to the Internet address of User B. I was kinda hoping it would work automatically as serverA cannot connect directly to serverB (different NNN) and configuration doc. says to relay all SMTP mail leaving the local Internet via “MailRelay”.

It works if I enter a fowarding address of User B in User B’s person doc - or enter the Internet address into the FullName field of User B.

But this mechanism cannot be used due to other challanges…

All I get is the “…no route found to serverB…” message.

(P.S: There are A LOT of more servers than serverA and serverB so anything that will rely on setting up connection documents of any sort will not do…

Besides, the servers cannot connect directly to one-another…)

Will be very happy for feedbeck :slight_smile:

This can be accomplished by setting the smart host and enabling the smart host for all local internet domain recipients in the Configuration document. You must also enable SMTP routing in the server document.

In your configuration doc, router/smtp tab, basics tab… what do you have for the following?

SMTP allowed within the local internet domain:

Servers within the local Notes domain are reachable via SMTP over TCPIP:

SMTP allowed within the local internet domain: “All messages”

Servers within the local Notes domain are reachable via SMTP over TCPIP: "Only if in same Notes Named Network.

Thanx for engaging in this matter :slight_smile:
