UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6


Enabling the SMTP listener task for an Internet mail server
Edit the Server document for the Domino 4.6 upgraded server to enable the SMTP listener task, which listens for inbound SMTP requests. This change tells the server to load the SMTP listener task at startup.

Note The Domino Directory for the domain must use the Domino 6 template because the settings for native SMTP appear only in the Domino 6 Domino Directory

1. In the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

2. Expand the Server Configuration section.

3. Click "All Server Documents."

4. Double-click the server document for the upgraded Internet mail server.

5. Click Edit Server.

6. On the Basics tab, complete these fields:
FieldEnter
Fully qualified Internet host nameThe server's complete combined host name and domain name, including the top-level domain. For example, smtp.acme.com; smtp is the host name; acme is the second-level domain; and.com is the top level domain.

In the absence of a Global Domain document, the Router uses the entry in this field to determine the local Internet domain. Typically, the fully qualified host name is added to the Server document during server setup or by the Administration process (AdminP). A routing loop can result if this field does not contain a valid entry.

SMTP listener taskChoose one:
  • Enabled to turn on the Listener so that the server can receive messages routed via SMTP routing
  • Disabled (default) to prevent the server from receiving messages routed via SMTP routing
7. Click the Ports - Internet Ports - Mail tab.

8. In the Mail (SMTP Inbound) column, ensure that the TCP/IP port status is set to Enabled, and then click Save and Close.

Note Do not remove SMTP routing information from the Server document. Existing routing information allows you to route Internet mail in a mixed-release environment, or in a Lotus Notes/Domino 6 environment that uses Lotus Notes/Domino 4.6-style routing. Removing this information may affect Internet mail routing and delivery in these environments.
