I just did bind specific for dual stack on iseries.

I didn't have to make the domino servers bind specific because they already
were.    I could be wrong, but if you have multiple domino servers running
on the box, smtp for them are probably bound to the specific IP, so all
that's left is binding your native to another one.

there isn't one document that tells you both sides or even everything about
one side.   The domino side is a little more elusive.    I ended up calling
IBM support and a guy talked me through how to check, and we were already
there.

The iseries side is easier.   here's a couple of links.   one shows only
things specific to the binding process, not for setting up the IPs

hope this helps.

I think the terminology here is "Bind Specific".  That's what you want to
search on.  There's a way to tell Domino only to bind to a specific IP
address, and a way to tell the native SMTP the same.  I just can't
remember how off the top of my head.  I have about a dozen interfaces
defined for domino and other 400 stuff, and another dozen for IXS.  Maybe
the domino400 list would help?

I'll pay attention to the details like you did and see if I notice the
same error.

----------the original--------------

It's a good day, I learned something new on this exercise:

I tried this on my test system and was surprised when STRTCPSVR *SMTP did
not start everything right back up.  In the joblog for QTSMTPSRVD I found
a
message: "SMTP unable to bind to Internet Protocol interface 0.0.0.0."
followed immediately by SMTP unable to bind to any Internet Protocol
interface." and "End of prestart jobs in progress."

So I tried starting SMTP through iNav and got the same result.  Paging
through the SMTP properties tabs in iNav I found the bindings tab, which
has
two radio buttons labeled "Use all interfaces" and "Select an interface."
Use all interfaces was checked.  After I checked Select an interface and
chose the proper IP address for my ethernet line SMTP started right up and
went right back to work.

My guess is that when I ended SMTP on the Series my Domino server grabbed
the port, at least for its own IP address, causing the SMTP bind to fail
on
that IP address.  I don't know if that's what happens in your case Rob,
but
in our case SMTP was apparently trying to bind on all lines, including a
token ring line and an internal line to an IPCS that are no longer used.
