Hello,

I have an error when deploying a workflow (see below)

This error occurs when I check "Notify
participants when they receive a work item" in any user task.

If no notification checked, the workflow deloys successfully, and works as expected..

A send E-mail step is defined and work properly.

Exchange is not used for email integration.

A smtp server is defined in the setup manager (smtp server is a lotus domino 6.5.6)

The smtp connection test failed in the setup manager BUT telnet from k2 server to the smtp server works, as the send e-mail step in my workflow

DTC is set correctly on servers

K2
Blackpearl 4.6.6, K2 Smartforms 1.0.4

===============================================

The error :
