QQ - Extending Notes mail to SMTP

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hi all,

Pardon me as all along I’ve been a Domino developer and I have managed already configured environment before.

This is the first time I am setting up my own brand new Notes/Domino domain. Now, I have setup 3 servers, 1 hub and the other 2 spoke Domino Enterprise Servers. I have tested and Notes mail routing works fine with all users from these servers.

I am extending mail to include Internet mail and I have a readily STMP server to be configured with my Domino hub server. It’s address is “smtp.mycompany.net”. I have tested from the hub server using “telnet smtp.mycompany.net 25” and it works fine.

My question is - based on my very simple default setup. What are the FIRST few Domino Directory documents that I must setup in order for my users to be able to send/receive from their Notes client SMTP email messages with external email addresses?

Thanks in advance for all inputs :slight_smile:

Without getting into a great amount of detail as this information is available in the Help databases and IBM websites:You will need to create a Configuration Settings document which is where SMTP outbound is enabled.

You have to make sure the SMTP listener task is enabled in the Server document

It would be a good idea to have a Global Domain document also. Wiki link that explains the Global Domain document: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/understanding-the-global-domain-document-

From the user standpoint, they should have an internet address specified in their person document

Their location documents should be setup to route mail through the Domino server in MIME format.

The location document should also include the users full internet address.

Hope that helps a bit, you may need to contact Lotus support.
