Notes 6.51 and SMTP Mail

HCL Domino Domino Forum

We have a mixed shop, mostly Notes 5.x systems. Our SMTP gateway is ND 6.5.1 and all of our 5.x servers route their Internet mail through to this ND 6.5.1 server.

I just converted an R5 server to ND 6.5.1, and I could not get the SMTP mail to route to the existing SMTP server. It kept saying that it could not find the route, even though it was routing standard Notes mail to that same server.

I had to set a server configuration document for the newly upgraded server, and set the “SMTP used when sending messages outside of the local internet domain” field to Enabled.

Why does this need to be done?!?

Also, the LDAP service keeps loading on this newly upgraded system. I’ll shut down the LDAP service, remove LDAP from the NOTES.INI and restart, and the LDAP will start up again. What is causing this?

Thanks.

Hi,

I expect that the Server you upgraded at last is yor Administration server of the Domain, on this machine LDAP will be started automatically unless you set following Notes.Ini Setting:

DisableLDAPOnAdmin=1

Regarding the SMTP Problem, normally the Param you activated means this server routes SMTP Mails himself. If you want that only one server routes SMTP you must define the “old way” with a SMTP Connection Document for the Machine which sends the SMTP Mails and a Foreign SMTP Domain Document.
