Yes and No. ;)

Domino does not come with a "sendmail" binary, that is used by most bash 
clients (mailx, etc.) But you have the following options:

- Install a local MTA (postfix for instance) and configure postfix to 
run on another port (10025 instead of 25, or something similar). Look at 
the postfix documentation for that (hint: /etc/postfix/master.cf). Then 
you can configure your Domino server als relayhost in main.cf.

- you could stop Dominos smtp task and send the mail with a local mailer 
to another domino server in your domain

- you could change the default port of the domino smtp task

- do a "telnet <ip_of_dominoserver> 25" and talk smtp ;)

HTH,
