POP3 Connector for Lotus Domino R5, R6, R7, R8, R8.5
If you are still using a Lotus
Domino R4.6 server, please see this page.
How to configure the Lotus Domino Server and PYTHEAS MailGate
This page gives some details to configure a Lotus Domino
server how to let PYTHEAS MailGate send POP3 email into the user's mailboxes. Depending on your version of the Lotus Domino Server, the
configuration screens may look differently. In any case, it is
important to perform the two checks at the end
of this document.
1. Check the PYTHEAS MailGate version number
You need PYTHEAS MailGate release 2.00 (or later).
|
|
2. Modify the Current Server Document
| Basics |
| Server name: |
|
Server build number: |
Release 5.0.1a (Intl) |
| Server title: |
|
Administrators: |
|
| Domain name: |
|
Routing tasks: |
Mail Routing, SMTP Mail Routing |
| Fully qualified Internet host name: |
|
SMTP listener task: |
Enabled |
| Cluster name: |
|
Server's phone number(s): |
|
| Directory Assistance database name: |
|
CPU count: |
|
| Directory Catalog database name on this server: |
|
Operating system: |
|
| Optimize HTTP performance based on the following
primary activity: |
|
Is this a Sametime server?: |
|
- Routing tasks: be sure to have Mail Routing and SMTP Mail Routing in the
Routing tasks.
- Set the SMTP listener task to Enabled.
| Ports - Internet ports - Mail |
| |
Mail
(IMAP) |
Mail
(POP) |
Mail
(SMTP Inbound) |
Mail
(SMTP Outbound) |
| TCP/IP port number: |

| Authentication options: |

- Mail (SMTP Inbound): We recommend to leave the default value of
25.Please check that you have the same value in the PYTHEAS MailGate
Configuration Program, Your Mail server page,
Domino R5 Server, Connect to port option.
Use the Try connection button to check.
- Mail (SMTP Outbound): (skip this if PYTHEAS MailGate
does not handle your outgoing mail).
If both of the conditions below are true,
you'll have to set this port number to a value other than 25 (for ex. 2500).
Enter the same value in the PYTHEAS MailGate Configuration
Program, Outgoing Mail page, Listen on port field.
- the PYTHEAS MailGate Communication Task and the Domino server
both run on the same system,
- the PYTHEAS MailGate Communication Task should take care of outgoing mail.
Please note: We realized that the TCP/IP port number for SMTP outbound mail
was not taken into account by the Domino SMTP task with Domino R5 release 5.0; however,
beginning with the 5.0.1a release this option works as expected.

3. Modify (or add) the Global Domain document
| Basics |
| Domain type: |
Global domain |
| Global domain name: |

| Global domain role: |
R5 Internet Domains or R4.x SMTP MTA |

in most of your "People" documents.
- Alternate Internet domain aliases: Please enter into this field any internet domain
names appearing in any of the Domino users' internet mail addresses. Please remember: they
must be given the internet address of their Internet POP3 mailbox (see
below).
|
|
|
4. Modify (or add) the Configuration Settings which apply to your
server
Skip this step if PYTHEAS MailGate does not handle your
outgoing mail.
Go to Server - Configurations and open the Configuration
settings document which applies to your
server (may be the [All servers], the default configuration, document).
| Router/SMTP - Basics |
| Number of mailboxes: |

internet domain: |

Local Internet domain smart host fields, enter the IP address
(or DNS name, if you have a DNS server on your LAN, or you use a
hosts
file) of the machine running the
PYTHEAS MailGate Communication Task. If both run on the same
machine, use 127.0.0.1.
- If a message sent to the correct SMTP address of a Domino mailbox does
not make it into the mailbox, check the value of the Address lookup
field.

6. Final check
It may be useful to restart the Notes Domino server to activate the new
configuration.
Please use the troubleshooting features of the PYTHEAS MailGate
Configuration Program.
Check...
- Your mail server page: Try connection
button.
- On the Properties page for every Recipient you
defined: Send
test message. Check that each test message make it into the
Domino mailbox.
