Do not automatically add recent contacts does not work
Add me to the list of people frustrated that the do not automatically add recent contacts option does not work. I have mine set to only add recent contacts from emails I send. I completely flushed my recent contacts, closed Notes, deleted the contents of the com.ibm.notes.dip folder, and then restarted Notes. Within 15 minutes before I had sent a single email, I had 18 recent contacts, only a handful of which I have ever sent an email.
To add further to the frustration, shortly after upgrading the IT department to 8.5.2, someone inadvertently appended a dot to the Domino domain of a Notes user's address. Within no time, almost everyone in our department had that address in their recent contacts. Of course, that address took precedence over the real address, and everyone was complaining to me about undeliverable notifications. I instructed everyone to delete the contact and update their settings to only add contacts that they send to, but it doesn't work. I've seen that contact show up in my recent contacts numerous times despite deleting it repeatedly and despite the fact I've never sent to it. It even appears multiple times in recent contacts. I eventually had to add an address rewrite rule to our Linux Internet mail relays (where the emails were being routed to) just get the problem to go away.
How does such a basic and important feature get so thoroughly messed up?
