SMTP not working from application on SMTP enabled server

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have 2 servers. Server a is set up for SMTP, server B uses notesrouting with the SMTP foreign domain connection documents.

The mail from Servera to server b works well and it leaves serverb using SMTP to the internet.

But,but,but I have a database on server b and this database sends out

SMTP mail but these emails do not work. (It says that the serverb is not a TCPIP host ?!?!)

Any ideas what I’ve done wrong ? I thought of adding a readers field

to the connection document and then hiding the connection docs from

server b. (This is not the proper way though ?)

Any ideas ?

I’m using R6.0.2.

Thanks

Steven

Subject: The problem is that serverb can not resolve its own name to a TCPIP address.

i.e. Assuming that serverb/yourorg is the name of your server, if you open a command prompt on serverb and “ping serverb” you will get an unknown host error. Have someone modify your DNS entries or to fix it right away, add an entry to itself in the Hosts file on your serverb

Hi,how does the Database on Server B sends the Mails ? Is there an Agent running ? Normally you should only give an regular Internet Address with the Mail and the Server sees through his connection documents where to send the Mail. It sounds as youv`e tried to run it locally.
