How to Configure Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes

This topic explains how to configure the Exchange Server 2003 Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes.

  1. In Exchange System Manager, expand the Connectors container, right-click Connector for Lotus Notes, and then click Properties.

  2. On the General tab:

    1. In the Notes Server text box, type the full name of the Lotus Domino server, including the certifier information (for example, server01/contoso).
    2. Next to the Notes INI file location text box, click Modify. In the Notes INI file location text box, type the path to your Notes.ini file (including the file name). Typically, this path is where you installed the Lotus Notes client executable files (for example, c:\program files\lotus\notes\notes.ini). Search for Notes.ini on the server's hard disk drive to ensure that you listed the correct path. In the Password and Confirm password text boxes, enter the password for the Notes User ID installed for the Connector for Lotus Notes on the Exchange server. Click OK.
    3. In the Connector mailbox text box, type the name of the gateway mailbox database you configured earlier on the Lotus Domino server (for example, exchange.box). If you specified a different name for the gateway mail database on the Lotus Domino server, type that name.

      If you type a name in this box other than the one you specified when you configured the Lotus Domino server, you must reconfigure the gateway mail file name option in the foreign domain document on the Lotus Domino server.
    4. In the Polling interval text box, type the interval (in seconds) that Connector for Lotus Notes uses to check for new messages delivered to Exchange. The default is 15 seconds.
    5. In the Notes Server language list, select the language of the server running Lotus Domino. Exchange Server 2003 uses this information for certain actions, such as determining which language non-delivery report (NDR) to use for a failed message. The default is English.
    6. In the Convert Notes DocLinks to list, select one of the following formats for Connector for Lotus Notes to use to convert Lotus Notes document links:
      OLE Document Link   This format is represented by an icon in the Exchange message. When the user clicks the icon, Lotus Notes starts and the document link works as it did before the migration to Microsoft Office Outlook®/Exchange. (Lotus Notes must be installed on the client computer for this option to work properly.)
    Aa998732.note(en-us,EXCHG.65).gifNote:
    Users' messaging clients may be configured to block OLE attachments for security purposes. In this scenario, the user will see the OLE object, but will not be able to launch and modify the object.

    RTF Attachment   (default) The document is converted to an RTF attachment. Because this attachment is a copy of the data from the Notes document, users cannot edit the document.

  3. On the Address Space tab:

    1. Click Add to add the address space for Lotus Domino.
    2. On the Add Address Space tab, select NOTES, and then click OK.
      Aa998732.note(en-us,EXCHG.65).gifNote:
      The address space can be set to *@*, or if you need to be specific *@Domino Domain. If you set this value to *@*, ensure that all of routable Domino Domain names are listed on the Advanced Tab's Routable Domain tab.
    3. On the Lotus Notes Address Space Properties tab, in the User Name text box, type an asterisk (*) to allow all users to route mail via Lotus Domino using Connector for Lotus Notes. In the Domain text box, type the name of the Lotus Domino domain to which the connector will connect (for example, Contoso), and then click OK.
  4. On the Advanced tab:

    1. In the Notes letterhead text box, specify the Lotus Notes letterhead name that you want to add to the top of messages sent from Exchange Server 2003 users to Lotus Domino users. The letterhead name that you specify must match the letterhead name defined in the Lotus Notes mail database to which messages are sent. If the names do not match, no letterhead is used. The default is Plain Text.
    2. In the Notes router mailbox text box, type the name of the server mailbox on the Lotus Domino bridgehead server to which Connector for Lotus Notes connects. Change this setting only if you use a mailbox other than the default mailbox specified on the server running Lotus Domino. The default mailbox is mail.box.
    3. From the Delivery order list, select the order in which messages are to be delivered from Exchange Server 2003 to Lotus Domino. This order specification controls the sequence in which Exchange messages are placed in the MTS-OUT queue by the Exchange message transfer agent (MTA), and the sequence in which messages are delivered to the server running Lotus Domino. The options are:
      Priority   High priority messages, such as urgent messages, are delivered to the outbound queue first. This option is the default setting.
      FIFO   Messages are delivered to the outbound queue on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis.
      Size   Smaller messages are delivered to the outbound queue before larger messages.
    4. To automatically compact database files, from the Notes database maintenance schedule list, select a schedule for Connector for Lotus Notes. Compacting database files keeps them from becoming too large and fragmented. The default setting is Never run.
    5. To configure a custom schedule for automatic compacting, click Customize.
    6. To add a list of downstream Lotus Domino domains to which users can send messages, under Routable domains, click Add.
    7. On the Add Routable Domain tab, in the Domain text box, type the name of any Lotus Domino domain to which Connector for Lotus Notes does not connect directly, and then click OK. Repeat for each downstream domain. By default, this field is blank.
    8. If you want to limit the size of messages that Connector for Lotus Notes accepts from Lotus Notes users, under Message size, select Maximum (KB). Type a value (in kilobytes), and then click OK. By default, this is set to No Limit.
  5. Click OK to close the dialog box.
