Hi All,

The original problem was the inability fo Lotus Domino to bind to
tcp/ip port 25 inorder to run the smtpmta in place of sendmail.

The various replies pointed me in the right direction. This also
applies to running the http task with secure sockets as well.

Firstly ensure that the tasks are not included in the inetd.conf
file as the ports will be reserved and nothing else will be able
to bind them. Next change the ownership of the files to root and
then set the group to notes. Then go a chmod g+s
'executable_name'

The permissions will then end up as....

-r-xr-sr-x 1 root notes 11692 Sep 26 12:00 bindsock
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root notes 1147400 Sep 26 12:00 http
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root notes 221972 Mar 18 1997 smtpmta

Also ensure that the files smtp.box and smtp*.nsf have group
read/write where the group is is "notes".
