I can send mail internally from my domino server but it will not go out over the internet to outside address I can access the internet fronm the pc and have my gateway configured but cannot get message to go out

First thing I would do is check if you have SMTP enabled on the Domino server and a see if the relay host is listed. That is if you are using a relay.

Can you give us some more information?
-What version of Domino? R6.x?
-What are you using for an SMTP gateway? Sendmail, Domino,?
-What do you have setup in your Server & Configuration Docs? Routing tasks: SMTP Enabled?

The more you provide the better your chance of someone being able to help out.

Try the following command on the domino server console:

trace <some.internet.mail domain> in e.g. trace netscape.net and see the result. If it can't find a route, try another well known domain, like yahoo, ibm and so on. If all fails, then there is 2 main potential solutions to look into - first:

- DNS settings are not correct or can not resolve MX records through the Domino server...
- There could be a port blocking outbound on port 25 through the firewall. The latter can be checked using a telnet session on port 25 to any knowned SMTP host. Most SMTP host replies with some kind of text in return...
