Peter Presnell started to collect the "Lotusphere 2010" presentation.

He build a list on his Website:

A good friend and domino administrator called me today and said that there TLS connection on one domino server isn´t working like expected.

I connected to the domino server and set "SMTPCLIENTDEBUG=1" after that I got the output seen here. If you are familiar with the EHLO command you can see that we get a "250-XXXXXXXA" instead a "250-STARTTLS" in short that means the Domino server isn´t able to communicate over a encrypted connection. You can see also that the remote mailserver forced "STARTTLS" and thats the reason why the mail send failed.

A deeper look into there network showed that they connected this domino server to a "Microsoft ISA Server Firewall" and this server tried to analyze every kind of traffic which goes true it and that "destroyed" the TLS connection. After the company switched this server to a SUN Firewall everything was working like expected.

Note: That doesn´t means that a "Microsoft ISA Server Firewall" and Domino didn´t play well together, maybe both would if the "Microsoft ISA Server Firewall" could be configured correctly.

IBM released today the FP1 for Lotus Notes/Domino 8.5.1.

The fixpack included support for Notes on Windows 7 and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.2).

Additional information about this Fix Pack, including a list of fixes, is available in the Notes/Domino 8.5.1 Fix Pack 1 Release Notice.

The IBM Technote 4025721 provides download information for IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.1  Fix Pack 1:

A list of fixes can be found here.

I released the version 7 from my maintenance script for Lotus Domino.

New in this version:

- Added support for Domino 8.5.x
- Designed to run via TaskManager (e.g. for weekly maintenance on the weekend)
- Build in support for windows 2003 64 bit systems (32 bit systems are supported since 1.0)
- Will stop the domino Server and will check if it offline before processing with the maintenance
- Will run a NSD if domino will not quit in the given time (default = 60min.)
- Will detect the propper service name (via notes.ini value) for the shutdown
- Can start the Domino server / or reboot the server after maintenance

This version is primary build now to run via TaskManager.

You can download the script from here:
