Subject: Outbound Message Converter with invalid mail address

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Administration

Platform: Linux server

Release: 8.5.1

Reproducible: Always

We have some issue with outgoing mails over SMTP. Everything is allright with mails, which are valid according to RFC. But when user sends e-mail with invalid e-mail address format eg JJones@.acme.com (so with dot between @ and domain name, yes this is invalid address) probably "Outbound Message Converter" tranforms this e-mail address to JJones%.acme.com@DOMAIN_NAME.XX format, where XXX.DOMAIN_NAME.XX is fully qualified internet host name in server document.

Console prints this message:
02.03.2010 13:18:10 Router: Transferring mail to domain XXX.XXX.XX (host XXX.XXX.XX [IP_ADDRESS]) via SMTP
02.03.2010 13:18:13 Router: Transferred 1 messages to XXX.XXX.XX (host XXX.XXX.XX) via SMTP
02.03.2010 13:18:14 Router: Message 00438CB6 transferred to XXX.XXX.XX for JJ
ones%.acme.com@DOMAIN_NAME.XX via SMTP

For outgoing mail we use postfix (it's XXX.XXX.XX), where in mail.box e-mail address this mail is still correct. If the domino server is configured to send e-mail to the internet directly, address format is correct. We have same issue with Domino 8.*. I think, it's not version issue.

Is here anybody, who has same issue or knows, where problem is?

You enable outbound SMTP and configure a relay host on your Domino server. You then send a mail message to John.Doe@.test.domain; however, the message is sent to John.Doe%.test.domain@companyname.com (where companyname.com is the primary Internet domain).
Solution
Currently, the Router converts the outbound message with the invalid domain syntax and generates additional traffic due to the problem.
An enhancement request for the Router to reject the mail message and send an NDR back to the sender stating that the address syntax is invalid has been submitted to Quality Engineering.

Unforntunally all requests are closed with no plans to fix in R6, R7 ; R8 codestream.
