Routing mail from Domino 8.5 to sendmail

Hi,

I’m setting up some Domino 8.5 servers and sendmail servers for a local test, and I’m running into some problems routing mail around this system.

Here is what my local domain looks like now:

1 Primary Domino server. I’ll call this box domino-primary.local.

1 Secondary Domino server. I’ll call this box domino-secondary.local.

1 Sendmail server. I’ll call this box sendmail.local.

On both Domino servers, I have added sendmail.local as my local relay host under Router/SMTP on the server config doc.

On the sendmail server, I have created a test mailbox named ‘bill@sendmail.local’.

Here is where it gets weird. If I connect to a mailbox on domino-primary.local and send a mail to bill@sendmail.local, it is accepted for delivery.

However, if I connect to the secondary server and perform this same test, the message fails to be delivered. This is the error message I get in my server log:

04/19/2010 12:15:00 PM No route found to domain sendmail.local. Check Server, Connection and Domain documents in Domino Directory.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here. I’m pretty new to Domino, so if I’m missing something obvious please forgive me.

Thanks,

-Bill

Subject: Problem solved.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. On the configuration document for domino-secondary.local, I forgot to set “SMTP used when sending messages outside of the local internet domain” to “Enabled”. After doing that, I was able to route to my local sendmail server, using the relay host in the server document.

I should be all set now.

Subject: Relaying

You may want to check the Messaging Settings.You may have to set the relay for both Domino servers.

OR - on the Configuration tab, Messaging section. Go to “Configurations”. You can create a configuration document that will apply to all servers in the Domino domain.
