Hi,
we have a servlet which is sending e-mail to outside of the company. The sender name of these e-mails ends up to be abbreviated_server_name%server_notes domain@server_internet_domain.
One of the SMTP servers to which we are sending is rejecting these e-mails with error: [“550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable”]. The receiving company SMTP admin has told us the problem is caused by the special chars in the sender address. Based on what I’ve read this is a problem in the receiving end but because this is a customer we would like to try to fix this in our end.
One option is to modify the servlet to set the sender and use mail.box. But before starting to modify the servlet I’d like know if there is a way to set the server default sender e.g. to admin@domain.com. I’ve gone thru all the SMTP fields in server doc and notes.ini settings related to SMTP but I haven’t found anything.
Any ideas/comments?
thanks,
Panu
