alberto,
i am using or trying to use lotu notes as a smtp service. All you have to do, technically speaking, is enable the smtp service on you lotus notes server. I have done this but there
seems to be some other problem with my configuration. Is enabling the smtp service on lotus notes not a option? you can even enable to accept only smtp connections from a specific ip address wichi would be your plone machine.

Dear friends,
Because of security policies within the organization I work with, we can't use SMTP protocol. We use Lotus Notes for e-mail, so I ask you this: do you think I could use the Notes client to send e-mails for the Plone site instead of SMTP?
I have two strategies I'd like to know if they are feasible in Plone:
1 - Change the "mail class" within Zope (supposing that feature is highly coesive within Zope/Plone) to, instead of connecting to SMTP server and whatever, just accessing a Notes Client DLL for sending e-mail. Questions that remain: is it that simple to change mail functionality in Zope/Plone? And can Python call Windows DLLs?
2 - Same as before, but instead I would create a Notes Java agent to send e-mail.

Albie
