Address format in iNotes

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hi there,

We had a request from a client concerning the address format on iNotes.

When you compose a new mail and enter addresses in the To, cc or bcc fields,

If you select a contact from your personal address book, the recipient is displayed in this format: “John Doe” john.doe@example.com

If you select an external contact (from a server side address book), only the common name is displayed: John Doe

If you select another user on the same Domino server, the abbreviated name is displayed: John Doe/Some Organisation Unit/Some Organisation

Is there any way of making them uniform?

We want all addresses to be displayed in the format “John Doe” john.doe@example.com

Subject: Sorry - another idea…

I probably shouldn’t have jumped in, because i didn’t have a tried & true answer - but i thought i had an idea! :slight_smile:

It appears that setting ‘SMTP allowed within the local internet domain:’ (Router/Basics tab) should (might?) do that.

You’d need to make sure that all servers have the SMTP listener configured, and ‘Servers within the local Notes domain are reachable via SMTP over TCPIP: Always’

I played with this years ago, but had a bug → http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21108473 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21108473

and never tried again. But this link seems to indicate that it should work…

No issues Mark.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I will see if we can try it…

Subject: Doesn’t seem to work

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I checked the setting and it was “Do not add phrase”.

I changed it to “Use CN as phrase”, restarted the server and checked.

Unfortunately, I still get the 3 different formats, one for internal users, one for external contacts and one for my personal contacts.

Can you please advise?

Subject: Idea…

…but it’s been a long long time since I’ve looked at this.

Look at: Server Configuration Settings document → MIME → Advanced → Advanced Outbound Message Options

What is RFC822 phrase handling set to? Try: ‘Use CN as phrase’
