Issue of incorrect message routing while migrating from Lotus Notes to Outlook

Email migration can be termed as a process of transfer of email data between different email client, format or computer systems. Usually, email migration is performed when users or organizations feel the need of upgrading to newer email clients. Performing email migration can be a gruesome task and might force you to face numerous problems related to Lotus Notes to Outlook migration.

One of a common issue that arises while migrating from Lotus Notes to Exchange is the problem of incorrect message routing while migrating. The reason behind this issue are the malfunctioning connectors that result in inefficient or incorrect message routing when messages are queued on the bridgehead server. Additionally, non-delivery reports (NDRs) are a sign of incorrect message routing.

Message loops are created if messages are routed multiple number of times through the same server. The Exchange Server then adds trace information to all transferred messages for detecting message loops and drop looping messages with non-delivery report (NDRs). In case the message’s path includes multiple systems the trace information might be lost during the message conversion between systems consequently causing message to loop indefinitely.

This issue of incorrect routing while migrating from Notes to Exchange may result in flood of emails similar to the ones caused due to worms or viruses and therefore it is important to ensure such loopholes. Therefore performing migration with Kernel for Lotus Notes to Outlook is the best option to carry out safe and easy migration without any loopholes or issues.
