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".

     Finally thanks to the following who's collective responses 
     pointed me in the right direction.
