Configuring Traveler for use with Outlook

After installing the Traveler server, configure it for use with IBM® mail support for Microsoft Outlook (IMSMO).

Before you begin

  • Depending on how your environment is configured, you need to ensure that you make server document and address book changes on your administration server, and not your local server.
  • If your Traveler deployment currently uses the legacy client-side notes.ini setting OutlookEnv=1 to override Traveler settings in the Server document, change the setting to OutlookEnv=0. This change ensures that Traveler settings are displayed. OutlookEnv=1 should no longer be used.
  • IMSMO only supports like replicas on group servers where Traveler is installed. The replicas must have the same replication settings in order to function correctly for Microsoft Outlook.
  • The database path for each replica of the mail file is required to be the same for each server in the group server configuration.
  • Server configuration document changes affect all servers, but setting the database administrator user name and password must be performed on each server. For more information on DB2® configuration, see the IBM Traveler 10 documentation.

Procedure

  1. Add the setting NTS_OUTLOOK_ONLY=true to the Traveler server notes.ini file.
  2. Optional: 2. By default, Traveler removes all of its notes.ini values if uninstalled. If you want the notes.ini values to remain in the event that you uninstall, set NTS_PRESERVE_PROPS=true in the server notes.ini.file.
  3. From the Domino® Administrator client, open the Traveler server and click the Configuration tab.
  4. Expand the Server drop-down.
  5. Select Configurations then click the Edit Configuration.
  6. Click the Router/SMTP - Basics tab and set the variable "SMTP allowed within the local internet domain" to Disabled:

    Note: Servers in a Domino domain where IMSO is used must have this variable set to Disabled - if this setting is enabled, it forces MIME messages to be routed over SMTP, which will affect the ability of Outlook users to read encrypted mail.
    Note: As a best practice, each person, group, and mail-in database should have an assigned internet address. Though not recommended or supported, you can set the variable "Address lookup" to Fullname then Local Part to work around this recommendation:
