Trying to use Internet Site Documents for STMP, but not having any luck…
I have multiple websites being hosted on my server, but I am only trying to use SMTP for one host name. My server is using a single IP address for all domains. But whenever I switch to using Internet Site Documents, I get this message on the server console:
SMTP Server: Authentication is not enabled in the SMTP Internet Site Document for
Yes, that’s right. There is a blank space at the end. It should show the hostname that was connected to…I think? When I telnet into the server on port 25, I get these results:
421 mail.vajra.com SMTP service not available, closing transmission channel
I definitely have an SMTP Inbound Internet Site Document configured for my server using the correct hostname of mail.vajra.com. When I turn off Internet Site Documents, everything works just fine.
What am I missing? I have configured this in other environments, but cannot get this to work in this environment:
Windows 2003
Domino 6.5.2
I need to use SSL for different hostnames, but cannot do so until I get Internet Site Documents working. Please, can anyone help?
care to share what your settings were on the internet site document for SMTP inbound? Is the internet site document specific for a single server or does it have the ‘*’ for the “Domino servers that host this site:”
Did you enable the TCP ports/status on the server documents?
we meet exactly the same problem with a two server and one domain domino (the same “names.nsf” for the two server). With other alone servers (one “names.nsf” for one domino server) it is ok.
Everything was working fine on verion 6.5.1 with internet site documents for several websites and one for POP3 and one for SMTP. Then I upgrade to 7.0 and WHAM, it stops working with the exact behavior you describe.
It appears as though SMTP, POP3 (etc) is NOT reading the authentication options from the Internet site documents. So that if site documents are enabled in the global document, the authentication options are ignored and nothing works, or you can disable Internet site documents, and it will properly read the authentication settings from the main default document. (which of course prevents you from having multiple websites active!).
Has anyone found a fix for this? Please let me know!
Once I got to looking into the Internet Site docs & how they work, I realized that I was using them incorrectly, as follows:
We host multiple domains/websites on the same Domino server, and so we have multiple Website Internet Site docs - one for each domain. I had also created multiple SMTP & POP3 Internet Site docs - even though they all use the same IP address.
This evidently is not how it should be done when it comes to SMTP & POP3 docs. I deleted all but one of each (SMTP & POP3) and the server almost instantly began accepting inbound SMTP mail (and POP3 connections, incidentally).
I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem…
