The basics: Few questions

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hello everyone.

As I continue my studies with Domino and Lotus, I realized that I did not have a very strong grasp of the fundamentals of Domino terminology. Thus, I figured I would start here and ask for some clarification.

Couple things im confused about, and mostly it is the naming convention part.

When I create a group, under the basics tab, it asks for the following:

Mail Domain:

internet address:

For the most part, internet address would be:

user@mycompany.com correct?

What about the mail domain? I’m a bit confused on that one and have not been able to find a solid answer so far.

That is really what im trying to understand; how Domino naming conventions work.

I appreciate the help.

Jason

I would not assign an email address to the Groups unless you want them to be able to receive inbound SMTP mail, which can be a bad thing in the long run. Do not worry about the mail domain unless the group is from another adjacent or foreign Notes domain that you are linked to.

If you do not have access to Adminsitrator help, here is an excerpt:

"Mail Domain Enter the Domino domain in which this group’s mail address will reside in the Mail Domain field.

Internet address Enter the Internet e-mail address for this group in the Internet Address field."

Anybody who wants to correct me on this, please do it as I am sure I missed something here.
