Missing correspondant E-Mail-Address in Incoming E-Mails?

hi

we are using different Mailin-Databases with defined Mailin-Addresses.

From time to time a we receive E-Mails with non correspondant Mailin-Address for example:

SendTo : a.user@anotherdomain.de, x.user@NotOurDomainToo.com

CopyTo: z.user@NotOurDomainToo.com

BlindCopy was empty.

Where can I see why we receive these E-Mails? I have seen E-Mails with Mailing Lists where the Recipients are replaced by a Mailing List Name. Its likely?

Please help I need the information because I use the Recipient-Address Info programmatically.

Email addressing actually works just like postal mail. There is an envelope, and a message inside. The address on the envelope is what determines who it is delivered to. There may or may not be an address on the message inside the envelope, and it may or may not match what is on the envelope. There is no equivalent in email of a window-envelope, in which the inside address is visible on the envelope!

Notes and Domino discard the envelope, and only show you the message that was inside it.

See this IBM Technote:

The workaround is…

 Configuration Document -> MIME panel --> Advanced --> Advanced Inbound Message Options:



 "If each recipient's address does not appear in any address header, then add their address to the BCC list"

I’m not sure what release this was added in.
