Can I put two server names in this field? Do I use a comma, or new line? Like smtpserver1, smtpserver2…If possible, how does domino route smtp email…if smtpserver1 is down for example? any ideas
Subject: Sorry. It will only accept one relay server…
Checked the design and the field for relay servers is not multi value…
But you can do this by creating SMTP connection documents.
Subject: Use MX records in a DNS
If you run your own DNS server you could set up MX records that associated an outbound domain with a group of servers with different MX piorities, then supply the outbound domain name in the relay host field.When Domino attempts to deliver mail, it will perform an MX lookup on the outbound domain name and resolve the first mail relay. If it cannot communicate with that relay, it will try the next relay in the MX list, etc, for as many relays as you specify.
As an example, at our site we have defined “outbound.company.com” as the outbound domain and put that name into the MTA relay host setting. On our DNS server we have then associated two servers with “outbound.company.com” as MX records.
Subject: Actually you can…
Take a look at this technote:
