I am brand new to Lotus Notes / Domino, but have been tasked with solving a technical problem. We recently migrated our email application from Novell Groupwise to Microsoft Outlook 365 (in the cloud). We have run into problems and made some changes. Now none of the messages are getting transferred to our SMPT gate server. Here is the error message:
Router: Unable to deliver message 004D8D2C to (email address)
Recipient's Domino Directory entry does not specify a valid Notes mail file

Can someone please help me. I have exhausted all resources I can find.
