Domino 6 - How do I change the FROM address, and understanding naming 1

[purplegold]

Greetings, I am learning Domino, and have a question which should help me understand it much better. There are a few users whose email addresses appear as userfirst userlast/orgunit/oldorgunit. I know in the past they took a part of the name out "oldorgunit". There are a couple of users who seem to still use that format, instead of a user@org.com

I hunted around in the domino admin for something to change but didn't find anything. Do i have to recertify?

Also, I would love to understand where I can look at the overall domino server naming convention and ID's. Perhaps those are not the right terms. I know Certificates are key with Domino. Perhaps if someone explained how the predecessor would have changed the name (took out "OldOrgUnit" ) I might get a better understanding of whats going on.

Hello,
I assume your first question is regarding the Internet E-mail address not the Notes address. If so then I suspect that these users do not have the Internet Address field populated and therefore the server (the router task) is trying to populate the address when sending the mail. If not setup correctly then the full Notes naming (i.e. including OU's and O's) is used. Find the users in the Domino Directory (names.nsf) and edit the person document and enter their e-mail address. If you have many to do then you can use the Domino Administrator to quickly populate this field for multiple users.

Regarding your second point all OU's and O's that have been created will appear in the certificates view within the Domino Directory (names.nsf). Each one will have a certifier ID file (which may or may not be called cert.id). When I create new OU's I generally call the cerfifier ID the same as the OU. You predecssor has probably removed the OU by re-certifying these people with a different certifier ID. If you need to create a new OU you will need the higher level certifier ID (and Password). e.g. the O called Acme may have a certifier ID called Acme.ID. If you required a Sales OU you would use the Acme.id file to create it and a new ID (called sales.id or anything else you wanted) would be created. Then if a user is created using the sales.id their Notes name would be Jo Blogggs/Sales/Acme

Hope this helps
