I need to find a “simple” and “logical” way to find if mail being sent is going to someone inside my domain or external - other than by looking up on Domino Directory (user may be offline without full local directory).
For example, say my email is wn@uc.ibm.com.uk I’m sending to
fred@uc.ibm.com.au
The first three are inside my domain, but john isn’t.
Anyway I can code this? NotesName doesn’t do it.
Subject: How did you work out
that wn@uc.ibm.com.uk is in the same Domain as fred@uc.ibm.com.au
and not
If you can explain how you worked it out, maybe it could be coded. If you worked out because you just knew, then its probably hard to code.
Subject: logical distinctions
Here’s how I’m looking at it…
In the first place, different top level Domains cannot be a common domain. Therefore, .org can’t be the same as .com (or its derivative .co). So john@ibm.org can’t be in the same domain as fred@ibm.com. I think I can get away with distinguishing between 4 TLDs (.co?, .net, .org, .gov).
Next, same organization in different countries could have .?? as two-digit country identifier. So for my purposes @ibm.com = @ibm.co.de = @ibm.com.au
Finally, some organizations put on a prefix before domain to indicate some structure. So for my purposes @work.ibm.com = @home.ibm.com.
And all combinations…
Am I making sense? Thank you very much for any guidance.
