CONFIGURING
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.

Procedure
1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab and then expand the Server section.
2. Select the Server document to be edited it and then click Edit Server.
3. On the Basics tab, complete these fields:
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.
5. In the Mail (SMTP Inbound) column, ensure that the TCP/IP port status is set to Enabled, and then click Save and Close.
