SMTP between Domino and Exchange

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

When you route mail between Domino and Exchange you will encounter a couple of issues.

First off, iCal has been implemented differently between Domino and Exchange. Repeating meetings are going to be a problem. For example going from Notes to Exchange with a reschedule of all elements of a repeating meeting will result in the first one being rescheduled and all remaining ones being cancelled. Updating one meeting with a new location or information or all meetings with new information or locations will not update on Exchange.

Additionally with the internal subdomain you have setup for routing your Notes clients will perform iCal and MIME conversions locally which will yield inconsistent results. As for routing you can remove the internal subdomain information from the addresses and have them route externally but this will open them up to interception and access via the web.

Additionally if any of your Notes Applications send objects such as buttons, embedded forms, computed text, etc, then these too will be lost. I understand your predicament but as long as you and your management is aware this and are ready for the related issues. Go for it. Other wise check out http://www.binarytree.com/products/cmtco.aspx
