AS you know, under Linux Server RHEL 5, programs can generate and send system event emails by module Sendmail. This Sendmail module must be uninstall when we activate the Domino SMTP server function.
Now, how do we let system event emails, generated by other Linux programs, be sent to Domino server and its users??
Subject: Sure about uninstall?
Hello Timmy,
are you sure that you have to “uninstall” sendmail?
For my opinion you just have to take care that sendmail and Domino SMTP aren’t using the same port (25 by default).
To configure the Domino server for receiving SMTP mail you shoud inquire the Domino Administrator help, sections beneath “Mail\Customizing Mail\Customizing SMTP Routing”.
There are a lot of points to consider about:
restrictions for allowed hosts
restrictions for allowed sender (domains)
restrictions for allowed recipients / recipiend domains
etc.
HTH,
René
Subject: YES! sendmail and Domino smtp fight
for the same port! After I have uninstalled Sendmail, no more smtp error shown by Domino console!
Subject: Uninstall is the wrong way!
Hi!
You have to:
install (!!) sendmail (or postfix or something else) on your Linux system
configure different (!!) ports for Domino and sendmail (i. e. Domino 10025 and sendmail 25)
configure sendmail (Domino as SMTP server, domain etc.)
configure Domino for SMTP listening with all (security) relevant items (see my previous post in this thread)
Then everythins works fine.
Yours,
René
