Re: Domino on the AS/400 Setup Question

Sean,

We run the same scenario as you describe.  Our firewall is the AS/400
firewall.  We had to place the name of the firewall in the Domino
configuration doc to get it to work properly.  Try doing that.

We also had to get our AS/400 TCP/IP configured properly so that it could
access the firewall, and the Internet.  Since Domino is essentially an
AS/400 application, it relies on the configuration of the AS/400 TCP/IP
stack.  From a green-screen session you should be able to use Ping, or some
other TCP/IP application to access outside systems.  This assures that your
name resolution and routes are configured correctly.

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

I am looking for some help from someone who has setup Domino on an AS/400
(V4R3) behind a firewall running SMTP relay listener.

I am trying to get my Domino server to forward internet bound email to my
ISP's SMTP server.  I have opened up port 25 on the firewall for the
Domino's IP address.  On the configuration doc, I told it that the relay
host is the ISP SMTP server (SMTP3.BELLGLOBAL.COM, have also tried IP
numeric).

When I try to send an internet email, and look into the messaging logs, I
get the following message:

04/21/2000 10:58:10 AM  Router: No messages transferred to
SMTP3.BELLGLOBAL.COM (host SMTP3.BELLGLOBAL.COM) via SMTP: Server not
responding
04/21/2000 10:58:14 AM  Router: Failed to connect to SMTP host
SMTP3.BELLGLOBAL.COM because Server not responding

I don't know what is wrong with my setup.

I have allowed the IP address of the Domino server outbound use of Port 25,
but do I also have to allow the AS/400 Ethernet card's IP address the same?

Also do I need a connection doc, or a domain doc (Global/Foreign SMTP???).

I really need to get this working, but so far I haven't found the right
person out there, that has the same type of setup.

Thanks,

Sean P. Donaghey
