I am supposed to confirm the IP address of the client PC from which the users have sent the mail using Domino web access.
How can that be done ?

If you want the IP address use the CGI variable REMOTE_ADDR .
To “validate that” IP address, I assume you have some sort of table which specifies who has what IP address or maybe confirm that IP address is in a certain range.

how do I use that variable ? I am trying to find a way by which I can know the IP address of the PC from which any user has sent the mail using Domino Web access.
Someone is purposely hacking the mail ids in my domain and sending mails using someone else’s mail id (he is being helped by the fact that most users in our company have not changed the default password assigned to them).
I am trying to educate people about changing their passwords regularly but I also need to catch that person by using the IP address of the client machine.
Can someone help ?

Not overly familiar with the DWA mail template and haven’t done anything on the web side for a while now.
AFAIR, you just need to add a field with that name on the form. In your case you want to make it hidden and computed when composed.
Normally, you don’t want to change the mail template design but maybe for a short term investiagation this would be the way to go.
Of course this will just give an IP address, most places an IP address is dynamic so you really can’t determine exactly “who” that is.

Thanks for the help Stephen. We are using static IPs here hence looking for IP addresses.
