I have a notes server currently using another notes connector to send smtp
email.

Is it possible to use sendmail with mailertables and the access file to
relay smtp mail to a lotus notes server?
I've been working on this with no success.
Current config.

Internet mail relay server relay.domain.com
In it's mailertable I have
relay.domain.com smtp:[internalhost.domain.com]
in the access file I have
To:relay.domain.com RELAY
Connect:relay.domain.com RELAY

When I send mail to the relay from an internet site I get this in the
sendmail log
May 14 17:12:37 relay sendmail[14734]: f4ELBpn14730:
to=<us...@relay.domain.com>, delay=00:00:21, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=smtp,
pri=30005, relay=internalhost.domain.com. [192.168.1.1], dsn=2.0.0,
stat=Sent (Message received OK.)

I don't have any mx records setup. Is this necessary?

All this looks like it's working to me but the notes server never gets the
email.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If it's talking SMTP, sure.

This clearly shows that the internalhost.domain.com, with IP address
192.168.1.1, accepted the message - the "Message received OK." is the
text accompanying its positive SMTP reply code.

Apparently not:-) - i.e. as far as sendmail is concerned, the
mailertable is quite enough.

Yes it does (assuming "internalhost" is the notes server). You need to
find out what it did with it afterwards - sendmail is out of that
picture.
