Lotus Notes / Mail Aliases

[gerbir21]

Our Notes server is configured to send email through our Notes SMTP service to our exchange server. In order to do this, I have modified my user entry in the NAMES.NSF to have my Forwarding address listed as exchangemailalias@domain.com (IE. jsmith@microsoft.com).

When I send an email in Lotus Notes, I receive the email in my Outlook folder, however the sender adress appears as joe_smith@microsoft.com (I believe it is creating this address using the formula of "firstname_lastname"+"@maildomain.com"). Because of this, I am unable to reply to the message as this address does not exist.

Is there anyway this can be adjusted so that whatever email I send from Lotus Notes will have my 'forwarding address' (as defined in my names.nsf entry) set as the sender address? (thus allowing people to reply to the message)

Thanks,

Hello,

You can try and change each location document's "Internet Address" field to your desired address. I think if this is blank, the mail router will append what is listed in your person document.

Hi Packet7

Thanks for the tip. I've actually taken that step already. I tested this by editing my entry in the names.nsf and changing my "Forwarding address" to my Exchange email address. The Notes mail is now being routed to my Exchange inbox. However, I do notice that when I look at the 'sender' email address, it is listing in the format of "firstname_lastname@domain.com" (IE. joe_smith@microsoft.com). As a result, replies to this message end up being returned as undeliverable.

Is there any way the reply address can be set to the forwarding address? Is this something that is changed on a per user basis in the names.nsf or is there a global setting within Notes that must be adjusted?

Thanks,
