Coexist Lotus and exchange 2003 to use email push method
Dear all
hi
i have a situation in my company , we have lotus notes 6, we can't change it because it is forced from the HQ. we want to use black berry and exchange email push method for managers , some suggested that we can coexist exchange with lotus to enable such thing, i was wondering how to configure such a thing
for example let us assume the following config
company domain (domain1.com)
lotus notes domain (domain1.com)
exchange domain( is it gonna be domain1.com???) but it is not the responsible for mail delivery for that domain.
or it is gonna be domain2.com
if i follow the idea that exchange domain will be domain1.com so how i will configure the connection file on lotus to send email for users on the exchange server??
if it is gonna be domain2.com so how i will let users access their emails on domain1.com (i don't want to change domain name for their emails)
any ideas

Agreed, it's not a solution if you have to pay for another server and service. You can enable the DAMO in Domino if users want to connect to notes using outlook: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=outlook&uid=swg21165508&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=en
But, as sjef's links point out, you can configure the blackberry to connect to Notes using the Blackberry's server, and pay for that service,
or you can install a blackberry server,
Or you can install Notes Everyplace: http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/lotus/offering1.nsf/wdocs/mobile&wireless

it is very weird case i know
put it is not the issue of connecting outlook to notes or notes to exchange
it is to use email push method on microsoft enabeled mobiles , imates and jasjar
the issue really that there is some MS fans who want to do it throw microsoft
the weired thing that there is another sister company , hired MS to do it and they did it , intergrated Exchange in the environment as i stated, they use exchange to push the email on the mobile phones :(
HQ has no objection on using exchange for only this case, this is because most of our managers are using these mobiles so money will not be an issue :)
any ideas ???

the core of that question that we asked to do what our managers asked us to do what the other company did so any ideas???
OK, it's all domain1.com, but the Domino servers are domino.domain1.com and the exchange is eschange.domain1.com. Would that work?

as you said it is managment issue
of course i will explain the problems that we will face but on the other side i have to ask also to add a knowledge.
ok i also thought that i will configure a foreign domain in lotus notes so can you correct for me
i will configre a recipient policy on the exchange to add a domain name (domain.com) to the exchange users and configure the exchange as it is not responsible for mail delivery
but if a configured a connection and foriegn domain i will add a new domain , but i want to retain the domain name . so i think that configuring the connector and directory replication will point the notes that celluser email is celluser@domain.com and mail box is located in the exchange server
and comments

I think the clue is going to be in the other company's set up. If they have exchange, then see if those people have an address JUST on the exchange server and not the domino server. If that's true, then all they did was install the Notes Connector, which you can do on the Exchange server. What you would have is two email systems, and in order for the Exchange people to recieve email it is delivered from the Domino server, but the exchange server is still configured to receive email, else you won't be able to send it email.
You need to "look" over their set up if you want to duplicate it. They'll either have duplicate names with small variations: mecell@thisdomain.com, or they won't have any duplicate names, but it will go through the connector.

Although if you have the exchange software, then you will have a the connector included with the software along with the instructions. This is a microsoft product and not a Notes product.
