surname in internet address treated as domain

We have a user with an internet address like user.test@testing.com - but we also have a Non-adjacent domain called test - now when I try to send an email, internally, to the user

using their internet address the mail fails to deliver as the system tries to send to user@test - so it looks like the router has recognised the surname before the @ part as being a domain

How can I change that behaviour? is it in the Global Domain Configuration document? i.e. Domino domain(s) position: Left of '@' / Right of '@'

Try SMTP_LEFT_DOT_NEVER_DOMAIN=1

Try adding SMTP_LEFT_DOT_NEVER_DOMAIN=1 to your Notes.ini.

Change the separator character of internet address from '.' to '_'
-The issue can occur if the last name of the user is equal to the name of a domain document, such as a Foreign, Adjacent or Non-Adjacent domain,
 and if the address has a dot (".") to separate the first name and the last name.  

-Moreover, if there is a Non-Adjacent Domain called " * " (asterisk),
then ALL mail addressed in the format like 'user.test@testing.com' will be rerouted to a domain equal to the last name of the user .  

1. as solution enable notes.ini variable SMTP_LEFT_DOT_NEVER_DOMAIN=1
Other workarounds for this issue:

2. Change the separator character for the first and last names from the period '.' to an underscore '_'
3. Use a specific notes domain in the "Mail send to domain" field instead of a wildcard "*" in Non-Adjacent Domain document
