I suspect by now you have heard that Notes & Domino 8.5.2 shipped earlier this week. If you use the iNotes redirector make sure yours is up to date. Domino 8.5.2 delivers Ultra-Light

No I did not travel to St. Louis overnight, I am still watching IamLUG

From today’s session
Project Vulcan ambitious vision staged in 2 releases – edbrill #iamlug
Very very good chance 8.5.2 August 24th. I’ve heard that a lot this week #iamlug
=’timestamp’>less than a minute ago via TweetDeck
8.5.2 is the last feature release in the 8.5.x code stream; classic maintenance releases going forward #iamlug
Ed doesn’t like Notes 9 (nein) as a name – so we’re prob going to have a community naming effort sometime in the future #iamlug
Project Vulcan will take two major releases to implement. Next version of Notes may not be 9.0 but may be something else. #iamlug
Project Vulcan is not a product. @edbrill will now demo it. The Inbox is dead, it’s now a lazy river of contextual news. #IamLUG
Does not look like first release of Vulcanized Notes will be released in 2011. More like
beta in 2011 and release in 2012. #iamlug
Ed’s Team looking at a cluster add-on pricing option for Lotus Notes/Domino Express pricing; huge plus for regulated firms! #iamlug
Thanks to Chris Miller there is a recording of the session available for replay on the IamLUG Ustream Channel or embedded here looks like Ed’s Session got broken in to two pieces. Thanks to all those who shared information from the session for those of us who could not be there. Note: I used Blackbird Pie to embed the Tweets which gives a nicer format and preserves links to the original tweets and tweeter, but does come with the risk that Twitter needs to be up for them to render so if you don’t see them reload the page. I had to drop a few tweets I had planned on using as they were from protected streams.
The other day ran in to a problem with SMTP Routing via a Domino Server. The server was running 8.5.1 FP2. Off to search some technotes and work with IBM support and we identified SPR
Regression in 8.5 SPR# TPON83FH62 – Fixed a problem in the Router where a failed message transfer to a destination host caused subsequent valid messages to be non delivered for the same reason. Typically this error is “SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error”.
According to Technote 1424498 Subsequent outbound SMTP messages are rejected if one message has a permanent error this is fixed in 8.5.1 Fix Pack 3. Off to Fix Central and download and install of 8.5.1 Fix Pack 3. However after installing the problem still persisted, after further investigation it turns out that nrouter.exe was inadvertently left out of the fix pack. To see the files included in a Domino Fix Pack from a command line run the file name with a /CONTENT switch and you will see a box like this You can review the list and you will note there is not nrouter.exe in FP3. Once support sent us the correct nrouter.exe the problem magically disappeared.
Generally when you find this on your server you know someone has gotten our of control with their mail file (please note this is NOT my mail file)

If you are running NSFDB2, or are thinking about it technote
What will happen with my existing applications that utilize the NSFDB2 feature? The NSFDB2 feature in Lotus Domino is still supported and defect issues related to the feature will be investigated and addressed as appropriate. How long will there be support for the ability to use NSFDB2? Support for the NSFDB2 feature will be continued in the Lotus Domino codestreams where this functionality is available (currently Domino 7.0.x, Domino 8.0.x, Domino 8.5.x) for a minimum of 5 + 3 years. Following IBM’s software support policy, this would be at least until 2017 for the Domino 8.5 codestream, as the initial release of Lotus Domino 8.5 was in January 2009.

If you are using Domino Configuration Tuner (DCT) (and if you are not why not?) make sure you update your DCT database. There is a template and rules update available.
