Hi List, I have a question about Postfix and Lotus Notes.. Well more a step-by step how to.. I have read loads of documentation, but I’m still a bit confused. I’m a Linux newbie and I’ve still got a huge learning curve to go. Here is our current setup :- SDSL Line via Scarlet to a SonicWall Pro 100. This has a DMZ port. Attached to the hub that is connected to the DMZ port of the SonicWall is a Cobalt Qube. This Qube acts as our MTA using sendmail-8.9.2. This then in turn forwards the emails onto our Lotus Notes server, which we use for email and also our project management databases. The Qube has been working great until the beginning of this year and now it’s just not powerful enough to cope will all our emails and also the spam mails also. On Friday alone I had to reboot the Qube 3 times as it crashed and would not respond. I would like to replace the Qube with a PC with SuSE 9.1 Pro installed and Postfix. Being new to Linux and even newer to Postfix, I haven’t got a clue and I would rather try to do it myself than pay someone externally to do this for me. Additional Info. 193.121.???.??? qube.domain.net IP Addr. and Name of Qube My Email Add martin.love@domain.com I haven’t made a typo. It is meant to be as above. We should be able to relay these domains etc: Local network Domain.com Domain.net I hope the above makes sense and is also enough info for you. Thanks in advance for any help. Martin

We should be able to relay these domains etc:
Local network Domain.com Domain.net
Aside from the essential documentation regarding postfix that you should read (in /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/) you should be able to get your setup working quickly using the relay_domains variable in /etc/postfix/main.cf and the transport table. Assuming you have your Domino server using regular smtp connections, that's pretty much all you need for a basic setup. If you want to force users to send mail through your Domino server, put its IP in the mynetworks variable in main.cf, otherwise put your whole internal subnet in there. The comments in /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/transport are very descriptive, so have a look at them as well.
