Important Tips on Router & SMTP mail routing

This open mic presentation has 40 tips on the mail routing subject.

The tip #24 – How to make Domino relay server to route mail to mutiple SMTP hosts help me today.
Within the Domino “Relay host” field, two list delimiters are allowed – comma( , ) and semicolon( ;). The delimiter will set the method
Method 1:Load balancing mode : host1, host2
In this example, the router will take the group of hosts at the same preference level (host1 and host2) and try to connect to these hosts in a random order.
Method 2:Fail over mode : host1; host2
Inthis example, the router will take preference of first host (host1) to route emails. If host1 stops responding, then the Domino router will move on to the next host (host2) i.e the next
preference level

Unable to connect Java console to Domino server after applying JVM updater SR16FP20

This behavior is related to an intentional change in Java6SR16FP20 to tighten security by disabling the MD5 algorithm by default in latest JVM release. The Domino Server Controller, however, currently requires MD5. IBM is investigating a solution to leverage a more secure cipher for the Domino Server Controller (a.k.a. Domino Java Console). This issue is tracked as SPR# RSSNA6UU79.

Administration differences between the SmartCloud Notes service and on-premises Domino

Today i receive an mail with this article.

Some administration features that are available in an on-premises Lotus Domino environment are unavailable, are implemented differently, or have limitations within the SmartCloud Notes service.

It is very important to know this differences.

HTML signature on iNotes

Today i found a solution for a customer migrating from Exchange to Domino/SmartCloud. He want to add signature using html on iNotes

You can use HTML within a iNotes signature by encapsulating all HTML tags within brackets [ ] to mark the text as pass-thru HTML.

If you use an image, the file must exist on a Web server that the iNotes client can access. For example, you can store the image within the domino/html directory of the Domino server and reference the image using the Web address such as http:// /

What follows is an example of HTML code to display a signature with a corporate logo:
[ <html><b>John Doe</b><br><i>Example Corp, Inc.<br>[email protected]</i><img src=”http://inotes_server.com/examplelogo.jpg”></img></html> ]

(Please note: There should be no spaces after the open bracket “[” or before the close bracket “]”. Spaces have been intentionally added to the above block of text in order to allow it to display correctly on the web, instead of being treated as pass-thru html.)

I add the html code using the field Simple Text and mark the Include signature…. as a simple text.

The information above is from this IBM TechNote

Setup RFC 822 for outbound SMTP on Domino.

You can have Domino add a phrase to the sender’s address on outbound SMTP mail and specify the name component to use as the address phrase. By default, addresses do not include phrases. If you choose not to support phrase-style addresses, you can specify that Domino remove any user-added phrases in the recipient fields of outbound messages.

You configure this address format using the “RFC822 phrase handling” field in the Configuration Settings document, under the MIME – Advanced – Advanced Outbound Message Options tab.

The Router adds phrases to Internet addresses both when taking the address from a Person document in the Domino Directory and when constructing the address from rules in the Global domain document.

This setting applies to messages sent over SMTP to another host or exported to the IMAP or POP3 service. It does not apply to messages delivered to mail files on the server or messages transferred over IBM® Lotus® Notes® routing.

The options for this field are as follows:

  • Do not add phrase — (Default setting) Outbound mail displays the sending user’s RFC 821 address. The Router permits user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.
  • Use DN as phrase — Constructs an RFC 822-style address using a phrase part derived from the person’s hierarchical, distinguished name; for example, John Jones/Sales/ACME <[email protected]>. The Router permits user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.
  • Use alt. name if available – otherwise DN — If an Alternate name is specified in the user’s Person document, constructs an RFC 822-style address using it as the phrase part; otherwise uses the hierarchical, distinguished name; for example, “John Jones/Sales/ACME” <[email protected]>. The Router permits user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.
  • Remove Phrase – The Router strips user-defined phrases in recipient addresses. Only RFC 821-style addresses are allowed.
  • Use CN as phrase — Constructs an RFC 822-style address using a phrase part derived from the person’s common name; for example, John Jones <[email protected]>. The Router permits user-defined phrases in recipient addresses.

The information above is from the Domino Admin Help.

Domino 8.5 e SUSE SLES 10 SP2

Neste fim de semana fizemos um upagrade de um Domino 7.0.2 para a versão 8.5. O Linux instalado antes era o SUSE SLES 9 SP3.
O Domino 8.5 não suporta o SUSE 9 então solicitamos o upgrade para versão SUSE SLES 10 SP1, pois já existem 03 servidores em produção com este Linux.
O upgrade do Linux foi realizado, mas a versão instalada foi o SUSE SLES 10 SP2. Aparentemente tudo ok pois os requesitos de sistema não informam nada sobre SP1 ou SP2 para o SUSE. A instalação terminou com um “warning” informado que o SUSE 10 não é suportado. Foi um warning mas devia ser um “fail” pois o Domino assim que foi iniciado apresentou um CRASH. Veja abaixo a mensagem de erro:

Verifiquei o install.log e percebi que ele removeu alguns arquivos do diretório /java/bin. Como era um upgrade achamos que poderia ser até normal.
A task que gerava o CRASH era a HTTP. Abrimos um PMR e a IBM não tinha ainda nenhum caso parecido, mas ajudaram pois fizeram um análise do NSD e detectaram que alguns arquivos estavam faltando.

Solução:  O Linux foi reinstalado para SUSE SLES 10 SP1 e reinstalamos o Domino 8.5, tudo funcionou perfeitamente.
Portanto cuidado com o SUSE SLES 10 SP2, infelizmente não ficamos sabendo a causa do problema pois o servidor tinha de voltar a operar e a janela de manutenção já estava acabando.

Comparando Domino 8 com Exchange 2007

Achei hoje um artigo interessante, e bem objetivo, comparando o Domino 8 com o Exchange 2007. O que foi mais engraçado que o upgrade do Domino é chamado de “Install & Forget” ou seja instale e esqueça. O artigo não é da IBM.

Falha na instalação Domino 8.5

Ontem estávamos fazendo um upgrade de um servidor Domino 7.0.3IF1 Linux para a versão 8.5. Um erro estranho aconteceu nesta máquina. Já haviamos realizado 4 instalações da mesma forma. A diferença é que este servidor era um dos mais antigos. O instalador do Domino no Linux simplesmente abortava sem mensagem de erro o TN 1295755 resolveu o problema.

Domino console em Windows 2003

Administrar servidores remotamente é o cotidiano de todos os administradores que eu conheço. Uma configuração no RDC (Remote Desktop Client) que eu utilizei por muito tempo me permitia “ver” a console do Domino quando este está em servidores Windows iniciado como serviço. Fiz upgrade do meu Windows XP para SP3 e este recurso parou de funcionar.
A chave que eu utilizava antes era /console agora tem de ser /admin. Veja o TN1209819 da IBM que explica isto.
