We currently have two servers - lets call them Server1 and Server2 - which are in their own Domino domains - Domain1 and Domain2.
Would it be possible for a mail file that has been registered on Server1 for a person in Domain1 to be hosted on Server2 in Domain2? So in other words, the person uses their Server1/Domain1 ID file on a replica of their Server1/Domain1 mail file - on Server2/Domain2?

My first question would be why…
I never actually did it.
But I guess it could be done with several tweaks. I am guessing directory assistance and cross-certification is a must.
Then I would just make sure the security tab shows that both user and server have access to each other.
Also, copy the server document from one names.nsf to the other.
You probably have all of these things already in place. What happens if you register the user in Server1/Domain1 and then just move the database and change the Mail Server to Server2/Domain2?
Subject: Why?
Good question! Server1/Domain1 is the main environment used for e-mail and the like, and Server2/Domain2 is a development environment. The issue is that Server1 is located remotely and Server2 is located on-site… which is why it would be good to locate a mail file from Server1/Domain1 on Server2/Domain2 for speed.
Looks like it may be possible with a bit of experimentation. Thanks for your response.

I see now. If that’s the reason I you could just let the user be in the correct server and then just create a connection document that will replicate the database of the user. Mail should be sent from the Domain2 unless you have something weird set up.
I think that will definitely work. You will add some time till the message gets delivered.

Excellent, that sounds very promising. So Server2/Domain2 wouldn’t have a problem routing a mail out, even though the mail was generated by a Domain1 user and mailfile?

Well, that’s where you should make a lot of tests. I am guessing you are going to tweak a little in your domain settings or smtp restrictions. But that’s independent in your server configuration.
Just make the test and let me know because I haven’t never done it.
