Subject: how can you send mail to a server?

Mail can be sent to users, or to mail-in databases. Servers don’t have an email address.

If you want to send to all users in your organization, you don’t scan the servers for users – you scan the Domino Directory for matching users.

Subject: No, I can’t help you write that…

…because it’s still completely unclear what you’re trying to do. What good does it do to send a notification to a server? A server has no brain with which to read a notification. Should you maybe look at adminp? Did you want one mail-in database on each server so that you can send email to that mail-in database and there would be an agent in the database to take the email and do something with it? Or you could have a single database that you replicate to all servers, and just write one document into it and let it replicate to all the servers?

Subject: Andre: He’s talking about the “broadcast” server console command…

Here’s a description from the Domino admin documentation. You can use it to send a message to all users (or even just specific users) who have sessions open with the server. Something like “We will be shutting the server down in 5 minutes.”

Hariom: I’m not sure how you can send a message to a server. Have you tested using the broadcast command and supplying a hierarchical server name instead of a person’s name? If so, did that work? I’m really not sure about the mechanics behind this command, so I’m really not sure how to direct you.
