Steve, Yes, we did just that for a little while. You need to configure TCPIP 198 file SMTP CONFIG parameter IPMAILERADDRESS with the IP address of your Notes MTA (I'm not sure what that stands for but its the Notes server which receives non-Notes email) server and VM SMTP will forward any non-local email to that address. Its then becomes that server's responsibility to forward it outside the company.
We had to quit using it, however, because our auditors were able to break into it and it looked like it would take an exit to stop them; and it wasn't worth that. There were also other issues around the corner involving validation of the VM email sender. It just got too messy for what it would have bought us. And, in response to Dave Wade, you might want to take this indirect route if your VM system doesn't have direct access to the Internet. Dennis Schaffer
