I have a basic Domino Domain configuration: 3 Domino servers, each running on a Windows server.One server, server A, is the HUB-server. The other two (server B and C) are SPOKES. The HUB-server, Server A is the SMTP mailserver which sends and receives mail to and from the internet. Mail is routed between the servers by connection documents between servers A ↔ B and between server A ↔ C.
For configuring SMTP I have one configuration document, on server A.
I want to switch from Out Of Offcice agent to Out Of Office Service. All three servers are upgraded to Domino 8.5.1, all clients are 8.5 / 8.5.1 and all mailfiles are upgraded to 8.5.1.
Setting the OOO Service i is done in the configuration document, which exists only for server A which is the SMTP server. OOO-service is triggered by the router. All three servers have a router.
Q1:
What happens when an internal Notes user sends an email from server B to server C? For server C there is no configuration document. So is the OOO service only active on server A.? Will a user on server C still use the OOO agent?
Q2:
When a user on server B or C receives an internet mail, this mail comes from the internet to server A, is then routed to the user’s mailserver. On which server is OOO triggered, on server A or on user’s mailserver?
Q3:
For some users mailfiles are on there home mailserver and also on server A. These mailfiles are replicated between these two servers. What happens when a user on server B (which server has no configuration document) also has a replica of his mailfile on server A (which has OOO Service enabled by the configuration document on server A)?
Q1:What happens when an internal Notes user sends an email from server B to server C? For server C there is no configuration document. So is the OOO service only active on server A.? Will a user on server C still use the OOO agent?
OOO configuration is based on the user’s home mail server configuration. The default is agent. So if there is no configuration specified it will default to the agent configuration.
Q2:
When a user on server B or C receives an internet mail, this mail comes from the internet to server A, is then routed to the user’s mailserver. On which server is OOO triggered, on server A or on user’s mailserver?
OOO service operates on the user’s mail database to which mail is delivered.
Q3:
For some users mailfiles are on there home mailserver and also on server A. These mailfiles are replicated between these two servers. What happens when a user on server B (which server has no configuration document) also has a replica of his mailfile on server A (which has OOO Service enabled by the configuration document on server A)?
The behavior is based on whatever is configured on the home mail server.
You can just create a default config doc with * for server name, which you can use for the OOO Service - and anything else that you might want to configure for all servers. That will then cover your mail users on both servers B and C
I will create one configdoc to enable OOO service for all servers (servername = *) and let the already existing configdoc for server A function for the SMTP-settings on this server A
