Error: 'Notes error: Formula error' when using 'Block mail from sender'

Technote Number: 1162329


Problem:
This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# JCOS5WQKR6 and was fixed
in Notes/Domino release 6.5.5.

Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Domino Release 6.5.5 MR fix list (available at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus):

Rules
SPR# JCOS5WQKR6 - This fix prevents a "Notes error: Formula error" message when
blocking addresses with open double quotes and bad addresses.

This situation can occur when the sender's Internet address is in a certain
format, for example, "John Doe" <"JohnDoe@Home"@domain.com>, or "JohnDoe@Home"@
domain.com."

Even though this format is a legal address subscribing to RFC822 and RFC 2822,
the address is not correctly handled by the LotusScript action.

Workaround:
If you haven't yet upgraded, you can work around this issue as follows:

Use a QuickRule (Tools > Create QuickRule). In the Create QuickRule dialog box,
modify the domain parameter to replace the format of the domain, such as
replacing b"@c.d with c.d.

For example, mail from "JohnDoe@Home"@domain.com" appears in the dialog box
with the domain parameter, Home"@domain.com. Replace
Home"@domain.com
with
domain.com.
