Directory Catalog stopped working...?

We have a directory catalog that worked fine… lately (in the past few days) it isn’t. It seems to still be updating (dircat task), the names are in it that we want to send to, but when we choose one, and then hit send button… we get a message that " xxx not found in Name & Address Book or any Domino Directory."Why would this suddenly happen?

Also… we do not, and did not in the past, have to have Local Replicas of the DirectoryCatalog on the user’s desktops… the mobile people do, but not inhouse, and this worked fine before…

was changed the configuration of your directory catalog?

selecting an adress from the catalog uses the field “Maildomain” to complete the mail address .therefore no searches in the main directory will be made for evaluating on sending mail usually.

if that field not exist (weas not includet in the configuration of the dircat) or is not filled out in the source directory, it can not be set by selection from dircat for mailing. the mailing server evalutes the address using the main directory and dosn’t find it.

Check the directories being aggregated into the Directory Catalog. Open each source directory and, from the menu bar, select Actions → Edit Directory Profile. Make sure there is a domain name in the directory profile for each source directory.

It seems that he @TheirName has stopped being automatically appended to the names picked from this directory catalog… it used to be appended by default… so perhaps its not related to the directory itself… but a setting somewhere in the config, etc… still looking
