Someone on our domain has been receiving unsolicited spam. For action to be taken, I need to send full message headers from the nasty emails to the admin's of the various domains.

How can I view the message headers?
 
Try this to get the IP of the sender: view the document in the preview pane. Rightclick on the message where it shows to/from/subject etc (the colored part). View the document properties (received fields) and you can get the IP address. Maybe that will help and you can block this IP
 
Alternatively, select the e-mail you wish to interegate, do not open it, and Export it as structured text.

When you open it with Notepad, the header information will be available for you to look at.
This works in R5, not sure about previous releases.
 
Hey there.

Thanks for the replies. I've solved this issue. I called IBM. We have an IBM/Domino support contract. The technician told me that Lotus doesn't have the ability to view the headers! Can you believe that?! I ended up finding the answer to my problem elsewhere on the Internet later. I wish I had taken his name/number down so I could call him back just to let him know that I fixed it.

After reporting the porno spam w/ the headers, the unsolicited mail has ceased to be sent here.

Today I was sent the Hybris virus by who I think is the person behind all the spamming. Someone must've caught up w/ him and now he's pissed off....

Anyway, thanks again and death to all spammers! ;)
 
So you want to let the rest of us know what it is you found that fixed the problem and where we can find more info on it?
