I would like to configure my Domino SMTP server to receive all incoming mail via SMTP and then after recieving all messages perform address validation. I want it to route all valid address to the respective internal servers and then route all the invalid addresses to our outbound smtp server. I dont want this server to reject incoming invalid addresses but recieve them and then after validation to route them to the outbound SMTP server.
Please let me know if what I am trying to do is possible and if it is let me know how I can achieve this?

Hi, you may be very eaisly just use a smarthost, this should do what you need. Get all mails and forward unknown mail to the smarthost server but maybe it’s to easy.
I am a bit confused by the question as if Notes does not find a valid email address on incoming SMTP mail it will bounce the mail back to the sender as non Deliverable. If you make it so that your mail server re-routes all mail that is not delivered this is then an open relay and you risk being black listed. I also do not understand what kind of validation you would use for Invalid Emails
Your Domino SMTP server validates all incoming mail against the Domino Directory and generates a delivery failure report for invalid addresses.
Just set up a connection document on the inbound SMTP server to send the DFRs to your outbound SMTP server.
