Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Functionality

Platform: Not Applicable

Release: 8.0.2

Reproducible: Always

We recently upgraded our Domino environment to 8.0.2 on windows 2008 servers.

It's two domino server that are clustered.
We had some problem with the SMTP service and disabling the SSL port for outbond SMTP seemed to solve the problem.

I can see often in the router log many of theese error messages:

2008-10-16 02:03:29 Router: Failed to connect to SMTP host SERVERADDRESS.COM because The server is not responding. The server may be down or you may be experiencing network problems. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists.

Yesterday the Router service got "awaiting reactivation" and 'tell router quit' - 'load router' didn't work. We hade to restart the hole server.

Can it be settings for the SMTP problems and the router service? We also have huge delay sometimes on external e-mail.

It's pretty much the same settings that we had on the Domino R7 server
