Lotus Domino 6 Mail Administration
Lotus Training Overview
During this course you configure traditional Notes mail as well as standards-based SMTP mail transfer and delivery. You set up several mail clients, including Notes, Internet mail (POP3), iNotes for Microsoft Outlook, and a Web browser for Webmail and iNotes Web Access.
This course stresses the role of directories, including the Domino Directory, Directory Catalog, Mobile Directory Catalog, and Extended Directory Catalog, and how to make them available via Directory Assistance. It also covers the configuration of Domino to support LDAP requests.
This course also covers mail security for both Notes and Internet mail clients, including the use of X.509 certificates for digital signing and encryption.
This is an intensely practical course, offering significant hands-on experience with the Domino Server and Domino Administrator software.
