Identify shadow mailboxs (InvalidLicenseException)

2nd November, 2022

When we perform migrations, the customer is responsible for choosing the objects which should migrate (for this blog example; users, resources, shared mail).

Domino SMTP connection round robin

23rd January, 2017

Domino has its own internal processing or ideas on how it implements TTL for DNS entries on SMTP Connection documents (where “Connection type:” is SMTP), which is frustrating as it doesnt always conform to what is out in the wild which you have diligently configured in DNS.
