To set up a server to receive SMTP-routed messages, you
must enable the SMTP Listener. Then the server can "listen" for SMTP
traffic over the TCP/IP port (usually port 25) and receive SMTP messages
in the MAIL.BOX database(s).
About this task
Enabling the SMTP listener causes the server SMTP task
to start up automatically every time the server starts. Disabling
the SMTP listener prevents the SMTP task from starting up when the
server starts.
Note: Do not add SMTP as a task to
the task list in the NOTES.INI file or this feature
will not work.

over SMTP.
Procedure
- From the Domino Administrator,
click the Configuration tab and then expand
the Server section.
- Select the Server document to be edited it and then click Edit
Server.
- On the Basics tab, complete these
fields:
Table 1. Basics tab fields| Field
|
Enter
|
|---|
| Fully qualified Internet host name
|
The server's complete combined host name and
domain name, including the top-level domain. For example, smtp.renovations.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.
