Issue with mailing to outlook exchange

Hi,

We are using microsoft outlook for mailing. We are using one lotus notes aplication where we are submitting a request, it has to sendmail to approver . we are having id file but dont have mailfile. We are getting error “File doesnot exist”.

Is this due to lack of mail file in lotus notes. We have requested Admins to create mailfile but they are not willing to.

Could you please provide any alternative so that it can send mail directly with out using mailfile by modifing any configuration settings.

Many Thanks

You mean that you have a Lotus/Domino admin and they cannot offer you a solution other than they will not create a mail file? Sounds like you company needs a new admin who knows what they are doing.

Make sure the users registered in Notes have a Person document. In the user’s “Person” document on the “Basics” tab, there is a field called “Forwarding Internet Address”. Put the user’s Outlook/Exchange internet address in the “Forwarding Internet Address” field.

Best wishes,

Make sure you are not using NotesDatabase.OpenMail - that will fail for sure unless the user does have a mail database.

To simply send mail, just use NotesDatabase.CreateDocument, set the resulting document’s fields and then issue Send method - all documented in help.
