Subject: How to active smtp with Authentication
A little bit more information would be useful. Who should authenticate where?If you want your domino server to send mail to another smtp server and that one requires authentication, bad luck. Domino can’t do that. For a workaround look there: (and read the correction to the posting).
If you want authentication if somebody sends mail to your domino server, you can do it in the server document, tab ports, subtab internet-ports, subtab mail. There you can set options for authentication.

TCP/IP Port number : 25
TCP/IP port status : Enabled
Enforce server access setting : No
Authentication options :
Name & Password : No
Anonymous : Yes
SSL port number : 465
SSL port status : Disabled
Authentication options :
Client certificate : N/A

which options should i change to active SMTP authenticate?
Thx a lot

At the Moment, you have set as authentication options:Name & Password : No
Anonymous : Yes
That means, that anyone can send mails to your domino server and doesn’t need authentication, because anonymous access is allowed. That is normally the desired behaviour, because if you don’t allow it, you can’t get mails from other mailservers.
So, simply said, you don’t need authentication, if your Outlook Users want to send mails via Domino SMTP to external servers, if you haven’t restricted relaying of mails.
BUT:
If you allow anybody to use your Domino server as an open mail relay, you are creating a spam sender for anybody.
So:
You should set both options Anonymous and Name & Password to Yes, and set the router settings so, that relaying is only allowed for athenticated users.
You can set the relaying options in the server configuration, tab router/SMTP, subtab restriction and control, subtab SMTP Inbound control (the names my differ, I have a german server and have translated the german names back in english).
There you can forbid relaying and set, that the restriction aren’t used for authenticated users.

Thx you Andreas,
There are two setting for Authentication options in the middle and below the “SSL port status:” text which one should I change to “Yes” for the Authentication Outlook user.
Thx a lot Andreas
Btw Andreas, For using Pop3 secure port is there only enable SSL port status? or there are another setting?
Thx again

Hello Tony,
set both. The first one is for authentication without a SSL connection, the second is for athentication using a SSL connection.
Or, if you want to force the user to use a secure SSL connection when authenticating, then only set the second. (I don’t know if Outlook can use SSL and SMTP).
For POP3, you only need to enable the SSL port for secure POP3 (providing that unsecure POP3 was in a working condition).
If you want to force your users to secure POP3, then you need to disable the normal POP3 port (after activating the secure POP3 port).
