I am looking to trial having a mailbox on a Domino server - prior to moving the whole domain over upon successful proof of concept.
The current environment has:
Mail hosted, available via POP3 or IMAP. Domino users all send mail from one mailbox. The Domino environment has been configured as follows:
All users share the same email file (as all emails must go from that one user). There is a global domain document with a fictitious domain, ensuring that all email, including emails on the same domain, are routed via the SMTP server. I have looked at two products to pull the emails in from the mailbox, and put them into the mail.box on the server for distribution. I need to be careful on the configuration here as I still want emails to be routed to the external provider.
My proof of concept will span 3 mailboxes, so the one alternative is to set up 3 clients, all configured to receive email and then replicate that onto the server. This is a little messy.
Anyone got any recommendations?

According to the subject "Configure Lotus Domino server to receive POP mail from external source" you wish to collect emails via Lotus Domino from a external POP3 system right?
Then you could use the freeware here: http://abdata.ch/POP3Collect.html
But I have problems to understand the other requirements you have.
It would have been useful to name the products you already tried.
In the Domino world, it's usually either POP3Collect, as Bastian already mentioned, or. if you are running on Linux, fetchmail or more modern getmail to collect mail from a POP3 server and deliver it to the Domino server via SMTP.
I don't understand what you are trying to achieve with this setup and what your question exactly is. From what I gather, you are creating a mail loop, as you are fetching mails from the POP3 server, deliver them via SMTP to Domino, which is then delivering the mail via SMTP to the smarthost server.
What do you want to "proof" with this setup?
