Prevent inbound spam in Lotus Domino Mail Server part3

Specifying the DNS blacklist sites to check

You can specify one or more sites that the Domino server’s SMTP task will use to identify whether a connecting host is a “known” open mail relay or spam source. You must specify sites that support IP-based DNS blacklist queries.

Prevent inbound spam in Lotus Domino Mail Server part2

DNS blacklist filters overview

DNS blacklist filters are a new and powerful feature in Domino 6 and one of the more effective weapons against spam. With the DNS blacklist filters enabled, Domino will check inbound mail to see whether it originates from a mail server that is listed in one or more DNS blacklists (DNSBLs).

DNSBLs are databases that keep records of Internet SMTP mail hosts that are known sources of spam or permit open mail relaying. DNSBLs are maintained by many sources, both free and fee-based, and their effectiveness varies, so you may need to experiment with different DNSBLs to see how effective they are in your environment.

How to use LotusScript to filter Lotus Notes Email

For this issue, Depending on what you are trying to do, you might be able to use the built-in mail rules or something like that. But there are two problems: Your organization might not allow use of rules, and rules might not do what you want. For example, rules cannot forward mail to another address. The most flexible approach, as always, is to write a LotusScript agent to do your bidding.

First, decide what type of agent to run. For example, in Lotus Notes you can choose to run a “before mail arrives” or “after new mail has arrived” agent. 

Agent details aside, and not knowing exactly what you are trying to do, you most likely need to use the NotesDatabase.UnprocessedSearch method. Search and UnprocessedSearch are fabulously useful methods that let you select documents exactly the way you build a view: by using a selection formula.

Basic Concept of IBM Lotus Enterprise Integrator (LEI) for Domino Server

In the Lotus architecture, the Lotus Connectors provide a uniform way to access the data. There’s a separate connector for each type of database, plus an ODBC connector for access to any databases where we don’t support a “native” connector. Others, such as the SAP R/3 connector2, provide access to application-specific data in a relational-like way.

Lotus Notes Mail Event that Must to Know

The difference between “after new mail has arrived” and “after documents are created or modified” in Lotus Notes

The difference is that Lotus Notes mail-based triggers know what constitutes mail and do not select items such as drafts and sent mail. These triggers pick up newly modified, previously delivered mail because in some situations it is necessary (for example, when mail is replicated to your mail database rather than delivered via the router). If this is not what you want, you can create an agent that marks a document with a flag when you process it the first time, then ignores it on the next round. (This is necessary only if you anticipate modifying newly delivered mail, “before delivery agents” only work for mail delivered via the router.)

Prevent Lotus Notes Error messages from router and Web agents

In Lotus Notes, the Agent Manager is not the only process that can run Lotus Notes Agents. In this section, we highlight how to view diagnostic information in router and Web agents.

Because the router executes pre-delivery mail agents, the Agent Manager use Notes.ini settings for logging and debugging have no effect. Instead, use the Logging level field in the Router/SMTP – Advanced – Controls tab of the server’s Configuration Settings document to control the level of errors written to the server console for pre-delivery agents. You can set the Logging level to Minimal, Normal (the default), Informational, or Verbose.

Helpful Notes.ini settings in Lotus Notes

There are a number of Notes.ini settings you can use to analyze Lotus Notes agent problems. You set these variables in your server’s Notes.ini file when debugging scheduled server-based agents, or in your Notes client’s Notes.ini file when debugging client-based scheduled agents.

Note that these variables are only used for debugging scheduled agents run by the Agent Manager in Lotus Domino. As we mentioned earlier, HTTP, router, console, RunOnServer, and interactive client agents are not run by the Agent Manager. Therefore the Notes.ini variables discussed in this section have no effect on these agents. (We discuss how to debug agents run by tasks other than Agent Manager later in this article.)

Deploy Lotus Notes Agent on different Domino Servers

For enterprise company with use many Domino Server for share load. If you create an agent you intend to deploy on multiple systems, you may find:

  • The server names on which you need to deploy are different from the name of your server. In addition, you may not know the server names in advance.
  • The agent developer’s signature is different from the end user’s signature.
  • The development server does not have a certificate in common with the production server.

We will look at several approaches to solving the first two issues, which in turn, will make the certification issue irrelevant.
