Receive smtp from two separate network

Hallo!

We have a Domino 8.5.1 Server running on a linux Cent’os,

Smtp and routing mail work fine over internal lan (172.16.xxx.xxx)

We need the Domino server to receive mail from a separate lan (192.168.100.xxx) .

We added in linux’s network configuration a new ethernet connection (192.168.100.253).

If we try to access a webmail from the 192.168 lan (http://192.168.100.253/mail/mailfile.nsf) it work’s fine.

but if we try to open a smtp connection we have problem:

here out test via prompt from client 192.168.100.252

==================================================

telnet 192.168.100.253 25

the reply was:

421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 192.168.100.235 (192.168.100.235:25), connect error 10061

Connection to host lost.

====================================================

here the connection from the same client (it has a 172.16 network address too) to the same server but the 172.16 address…

===================================================================

telnet 172.16.2.253 25

220 server.dominio.it ESMTP Service (Lotus Dominio Release 8.5.1) reaady at Tu, 18 Nov 2010 14.12.56 +0100

==========================================================

It looks like the client can contact the server but doesn’t receive a reply…

what’s missing??

Thank’s

Subject: Domino SMTP can listen on only one port

Domino SMTP can listen on only one port. You can specify the port using the ‘SMTPNotesPort’ parameter in the server’s Notes.ini file.

Subject: only one port, but multiple address!

Thank for reply, Lawrence.

I found that Domio can accept smtp connection from any server’s address, no need of any specific configuration.

During my tests session i have added a second tcpip port and forced ip addresses,

PortOrder=TCPIP1

TCPIP1_TCPIPAddress=0,172.16.3.232
TCPIP2_TCPIPAddress=0,192.160.100.253
Ports=TCPIP1
Disabledports=TCPIP2

here was the mistake, modifyng notes.ini all work fine…

p.s.

I have read about “internet sites” documents, may be this document can allow to configure multiple SMTP ports, but it’s not in my needs.
