Hello, I'm not a Lotus Notes expert but, assuming that you use Lotus Notes 5.0.10 and have administrative rights, open your Lotus Administration Tool (don't remember the name right now) and go to: Setup > Messages > Messages Parameters > Restrictions and Controls There you'll find some SMTP settings that will allow you to use your Lotus Notes Server as email relay. HTH, Martin
We use Lotus Notes servers. I've tried searching man pages for mail, nail, .mailrc but can't din anything about setting SMTP server=xxxx etc.

Hi.
I want to use the shell's mail prog on a corporate network to automcatically mail logs off via cron, but I always get "unable to relay for user@host.com".
Any ideas?
Tx. Pete.

It's set up to relay, I can do it from windows with netmailbot specifying -server 1.2.3.4 and it works, but can't work out how to tell Linux to use a specific server. Pete. Martin Mielke wrote:

Hi again,
It's set up to relay, I can do it from windows with netmailbot specifying -server 1.2.3.4 and it works, but can't work out how to tell Linux to use a specific server.
Pete.
Install a MTA such as Postfix and configure it to point to your SMTP server. The way to do it: edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and change/add 'relayhost = x.x.x.x' to the correct IP address or hostname (see comments on file). HTH, Martin

I would suggest rather then blindly editing /etc/postfix.main.cf use what the system provides in /etc/sysconfig/postfix and then call SuSEconfig --module postfix # Should we use a mailrelay? # NOTE: ALL mail that is not considered to be my destination # (POSTFIX_LOCALDOMAINS), will be sent to this host. # If this host is not your MX, then you have to use [square brackets] # around the hostname, e.g. [relay.suse.de] # You may also specify an alternate port number, e.g. # relay.suse.de:26 or [relay.suse.de:26] to prevent MX lookups. # POSTFIX_RELAYHOST="" By the way any parameter you can add, change in /etc/postfix/main.cf is doable via /etc/sysconfig/postfix -- Togan Muftuoglu | Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer | Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net | Please don't put me in TO/CC.

Hi, SuSEconfig is a nice and clean solution only if you are in SuSE. I think it's also good to know the "bad way" which can be used everywhere ;) Martin

And this is *SuSE Linux English discussion list* so the OP is using SUSE else he would ask to another list. -- Togan Muftuoglu | Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer | Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net | Please don't put me in TO/CC. Nisi defectum, haud refiecendum
