UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6


Enabling SMTP routing in the Configuration Settings document for an Internet mail server
You must enable native SMTP routing in the Configuration Settings document to allow the upgraded Domino 4.6 mail server to route mail externally using SMTP. Using SMTP to route mail internally is optional.

Configuration Settings documents can apply to a single server, all servers in a domain, or a group of servers. Edit the Configuration Settings document that applies to the upgraded server, but be aware that this modification affects any other servers that use this Configuration Settings document.

If you do not have Configuration Settings documents for your Domino servers, create them to reflect your Domino 6 configuration. For example, if you have a mail server, an application server, and a firewall server, and only the mail server uses SMTP routing, create two Configuration Settings documents: one for the mail server with SMTP routing enabled, and one for the application and firewall servers without SMTP routing enabled.

Follow these steps to enable SMTP routing in the Configurations Settings document.

1. Make sure you upgraded the design of your Public Address Book to the Domino 6 Directory template.


2. In the Domino Administrator, click the Administration window tab.

3. Click the Configuration tab.

4. Expand the Server Configuration section.

5. Click Configurations.

6. If you have a Configuration Settings document that you want to use for this server, select it and click Edit Configuration. If not, click Add Configuration.

7. If you are creating a new configuration, do the following:

8. Click the Router/SMTP tab.

9. Complete this field on the Basics tab, and then save the document:
FieldEnter
SMTP used when sending messages outside the local Internet domainChoose one:
  • Enabled to use SMTP to route mail to the Internet
  • Disabled (default) to prevent the server from routing mail outside the local Internet domain
10. If your organization uses a relay host, enter its host name or IP address in the field "Relay host for messages leaving the local Internet domain."

Note Relay host servers require additional configuration.

For more information about relay host servers, see the topic Configuring Domino to send mail to a relay host or firewall.

11. Click the Save and Close button on the Action bar. If you created a document, it appears in the view.

12. Enable the SMTP listener task.
