how to integrate sendmail with lotunotes

[senthil_kumar_1]

Hi

I am using Redhat and HP-UX. in that sendmail is running as default mail server.

Now i want to integrate sendamil with lotus notes.

pls tell me separately for Redhat and HP-UX.

Shalom,

There is simply not enough information in your question to provide a full response.

More information is needed:

What central mail relay server are you using, Microsoft Exchange, HP-UX or RHEL?

Here are some general ideas on the subject:
http://www.sendmail.org

Everything I learned about sendmail, I learned from that site.

Building a sendmail configuration in HP-UX
http://www.hpux.ws/?p=5

RHEL follows standard guidelines from the sendmail.org site. HP-UX varies based on OS version.

You will need to compile your configuration with the m4 utility in both cases.

If you have a central Microsoft Exchange server, you might simply take the following steps:

1) Authorize relay for the HP-UX and RHEL Linux server with the exchange management GUI and do this by IP address.
2) Configure sendmail.cf on both systems to do DS relay. DShostname_of_exhcange_server or:
DS:
[ip address of exchange server]

The later approach to DS keeps the mail flowing when DNS is offline.

/etc/init/sendail restart
# restarts the sendmail daemon on RHEL
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
# restarts sendmail on HP-UX

Duh,

Just realized Lotus notes can provide central email services.

The links and integration information at the bottom of the previous post are relevant.

As far as notes go, you will have to RTFM to handle relay server setup.

We are using Lotus notes as mail server in my company. that is installed in AS400.


Redhat and HP-UX cant connect with public internet. so i am not able to send mails to public email ids such as "sen@yahoo.co.in" from the sendmail installed in local Redhat or HP-UX server.

But my Lotusnotes can connect with internet.

So i want "lotus notes" to be used by sendmail to send the mails to internet servers.

is it possible.

Got it.

Best bet is to use DS relay on both servers as I defined above. Let the Lotus notes server relay the traffic.

If port 25 is open on your firewall and /etc/resolv.conf resolves public IP addresses DS relay is not needed.

Otherwise DS relay is the way to go and its easy and does not require an in depth knowledge of sendmail.
