Re: AS/400 Notes Domino 4.6.3 Mail question

Thanks for your response.  I'm guessing this change needs to be made by the administrator at the Global Address Book level?  If so, this would be a very short term solution albeit a good one for some.  Guess I'm looking for a "longer-short-term" solution that could have employees distinguish between local and remote and do appropriate forwarding.  If all else fails, we could setup some of our remote salesreps (with dial-up Internet access), currently on Outlook, with Notes mail accounts and forward to ISP accounts, thereby off-loading some of the current burden on RAS.  I realize there would be some limitations in receiving text only (i.e. cannot take advantage of full Notes Mail capabilities, doc links, etc.) but what about attachments?

Thanks again!

 I just went through the process of setting a person up to do this on Domino 4.62b about 3 days ago. It worked fine if I just put the user address in the forward field of the address book. I know I have had trouble with this in the past, but it worked fine this time. If I can do it, there can't be much to it because I am pretty much a rookie at Domino and AS/400! I would not want to do this very often, or very long as a general practice. But short term, why not?Bob

Subject: AS/400 Notes Domino 4.6.3 Mail question
 

Has anyone used/considered using Notes SMTP foreign domain setup to forward internal employee's Notes Mail to their external ISP account?    Ex.  Internal employee with local Notes mail and dial-up Internet account.           Domain setup with mail routing to employee's ISP's Mail/Client vs. local Notes ClientWe are considering this as a possible quick, low cost alternative in providing remote mail to employees with dial-up Internet accounts (vs. expanding current RAS system to accommodate).  Realize there is still more research to do to see if possible to have local receipt when attached to network vs. remote receipt when dialed into ISP.Any additional security or other reasons why a company might not want to do this?Thank you!
