We are using a mailflow as follows from our [ERP-System] --> [Domino Server 14.0] --> [smtp.office365.com] and use Basic Authentication with username and password. This has been working without any problems for several years.
Now with the recent announcement for the retirement of Microsoft Basic Authentication for relay of e-mails in favour of OAUTH 2 as described in the Microsoft Note https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/exchange/exchange-online-to-retire-basic-auth-for-client-submission-smtp-auth/4114750.
We need to be able to continue relaying e-mails but very soon we can't - this is a show-stopper for us. Here I think HCL needs to put efforts in a solution for this oncoming scenario that can be managed in the Administrator Client or a bolt-on separate process that runs on the server catering for e-mail relay to office365.
I guess the use case if for an organization who migrated the messaging part to Microsoft and still have Domino applications who must use the O365 email system to send notification.
As a mitigation, meanwhile HCL prepare the OAUTH2 feature into HCL Domino, we might use a scheduled Java agent inside the Mail.box to take care of the messages, using the Graph API, with refresh_token and access_tokens.
