The knowledge of Mail flow helps user in understanding this process when you are attempting to troubleshoot mail flow issues. Mail Flow from Notes to Exchange Lotus Notes/Domino user sends mail that is addressed to an Exchange mailbox owner. Notes system needs to be configured to recognize Exchange system as a Foreign Domain. Lotus Notes Mail Router should deposit the mail to Exchange.box (default name) database on Lotus Notes Server Lsntsmex.exe fetched mail from the Notes' Exchange.box and converts them from Notes format to Exchange MAPI format by using Lotus Notes API and then puts the same in Notes Mail Connectors READY-IN MAPI folder. Lsmexin.exe performs address translation and Active Directory lookup for intended recipient. Then it moves the mail from READY-IN folder to the MTS-IN folder. Store.exe (MSExchangeIS service) moves the mail to Message Transfer Agent (MTA, Emsmta.exe) and then MTS puts the mail on the MTAs SMTP queue, viewable under the servers X400 Queues in Exchange System Manager (ESM). Store.exe picks up the mail from MTA and puts it on the SMTP Services MTS-OUT queue. (This queue is viewable in Performance Monitor/System Monitor). SMTP categorizes and routes mail to the target recipients.
