DAMO and passthru server ability ? Why yes you can


Tags :


I did some quick digging to uncover this at a customer request, or more like interrogation and found out it is possible to have Domino Access For Microsoft Outlook (DAMO) actually follow pass-thru another Domino server for mail access.  Quite cool.

Simply open the names.nsf with a Notes client for the DAMO user and modify the necessary connection records to make the proper passthru connection records.  Usually modifying the existing attempted connection to use a passthru and then making a new one to the passthru server.  I found a good way is to just email it over to an admin to open, modify it, and then drop it back on the machine for testing reasons.

If you still cannot get something to work, there is a notes.ini parameter, of course, that you can set on the client and server to log more info on passthru of

passthru_loglevel=5


More that fun..now if we can only get policies to work against DAMO users.
