Allow for industry standard SMTP (incoming/submission) configurations

The industry standard configuration is port 25 for unauthenticated connections used for delivery to local email addresses, and port 587 (and 465 for legacy support) for authenticated connections used for relaying your users' messages to external addresses.  Generally port 587 requires authentication, while port 25 doesn't allow it.  Similarly, STARTTLS can be required for port 587, while optional for port 25.

Domino doesn't support this configuration.  Instead, it has one incoming port for unencrypted and STARTTLS, and a second port for legacy SSL.  In addition to basically not being able to use port 587, these two ports also share relay and authentication settings.  Domino does have a setting to allow relaying only when authenticated, without which it would be unusable.  However, it is currently not possible to require SSL/STARTTLS for relaying mail, without also requiring it for incoming unauthenticated connections.

    This is an outdated / obsolete request.

    RfC 6409 suggests clients can use port 587 for message delivery to a server, however this is no longer the prefered port.
    The RFC 6409 got replaced by RFC 8314 a long time ago and the standard is to use port 465, which Domino is offering by default (see screenshot below)

    Reference : https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8314.html

    Furthermore, the configuration which users are allowed to relay can be found in the configuration document for that server, where you can configure only authenticated users to relay.


    Closing the request as already exists. If you believe there is anything that can not be done please open a support ticket and let us know the details.

    Hi, this is very important for us. I'm afraid that our management will choose for another mail system if we don't have a quick solution. thx

    4 years later. Any update HCL? I need this. Workarounds are very expensive and messy.

    In Panagenda webinar, we were told to disable the port 465.
    But we still can not configure the 587 and use it correctly. What is the position of HCL ?
