Integration Script Setup for Non-Standard Mail Templates
The setup procedure covered in this section applies only to Domino servers using non-standard Mail templates or running on non-Windows platforms. The setup procedure for Domino servers using the standard Notes mail template is covered in Integration Script Setup for Standard Mail Templates.
The iNotes Web Access Mail template does not support the Domino/FaxPress Integration script, but can be used to send faxes through the Gateway. Faxes sent through the Gateway using the iNotes Web Access Mail template must be manually addressed. See Using the Gateway without the Integration Script for details.
The Domino/FaxPress Integration script must be manually installed when:
| ■ | a template other than the Standard Mail template (mail50.ntf, based on Lotus Notes 5.0) is being used. |
| ■ | the mail50.ntf mail template has been customized with non-default settings information. |
| ■ | the Domino server is running on a non-Windows platform (i.e. AS400, AIX, Linux, etc.). |
Before installing the Domino/FaxPress Integration script, be sure to thoroughly review Preparing for the Installation , especially Preparing the Domino Server Lotus Notes Environments, for setup information and requirements.
After manually installing the Domino/FaxPress Integration script according to the procedures described here, you’ll also need to install the Lotus Notes Gateway according to the steps described in Installing the Lotus Notes Gateway, and then configure the Gateway according to Configuring the Lotus Notes Gateway Lotus Notes Environmentsfor the Gateway to be operational.
Step 1: Prepare your Environment
Before you start the manual installation, you’ll need a Windows-based workstation with the Notes client, Domino Administrator client and Domino Designer installed. The Domino server must be running, and the client must be able to connect to the Domino server. Make sure you have Administrator rights on both the client workstation and the Domino server. Also be sure you’ve reviewed Preparing for the Installation, especially Preparing the Domino Server.
Step 2: Prepare a Mail Account and Group
Preparing a mail account and group requires three steps:

| 2. | Create a group named FaxPress. |

Step 3: Prepare the Mail Template and the FaxPress Integration Database
