RE: Netsaint / sendmail question

also, remember that sendmail does not resolv via your /etc/hosts file, so if you are resolving mail.eiiecomm.com from the hosts file, it won't work.
you will have to make sure your DNS server can provide the resolution..

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your letter and say,

while you have rightly identified a potential cause of trouble (What's
the best thing about Notes ? It's not Exchange) it is probably not the
culprit here.

My employer's Notes installation happily accepts alerts from
Nag/Netsaint and delivers them locally.

XXXX.

Can this host (the one running sendmail) reach (ping) mail.eiiecomm.com
?

If not, correct the _routing_ problem and try again.

Once mail.eiiecomm.com is reachable, you should use use chec_smtp or
telnet mail.eiiecomm.com 25 to make sure that you can connect to the
Notes MTA.

BTW, you must have the Lotus SMTP MTA running on mail.eiiecomm.com; you
can't expect sendmail to deliver to a host running only the alien and
proprietary Lotus protocol (port 1352).
