I have Lotus Domino Server R5.0.11 and Exchange server 2003 running the lotus connector. All e-mails from the internet and remote company users (using Lotus notes) come through the lotus Domino server. Any e-mails that a designated to the
users who have mailboxes on the exchange server get routed by the lotus server through the lotus connector.
Lotus mailbox users on the network can have no problems sending e-mail back and forth to exchange users or vice versa.
Also remote company users using lotus notes can send e-mails to exchange users and the exchange users can send e-mails back to them.
The Problem is if an external user( e.g. bob@hotmail.com) sends an e-mail to our exchange user (e.g. john.smith@ourcompany.co.uk) then the exchange user receives the e-mail with a from header which looks like this in Outlook
"bob" @ournotesdomain
When John.smith replyÆs to this e-mail, then bob@hotmail.com receives it, but he cannot reply because when you look at the from header it reads this
From john.smith John.smith.exchange@ourcompany.co.uk (note the .Exchange has been added for some unknown reason)
So if bob replies to this address he will get a NDR, since this address is incorrect and does not exist on either of the two servers.
Also all the exchange users are listed in the lotus directory as foreign domain users, meaning there address looks like this
John.smith@Exchange
Has anyone experienced this problem, has a solution or any ideas on how to prevent the .exchange being added to the from address header.
Your help would be very much appreciated
