This “notes administrator” group, does it have an internet address? Do people in that group have an alias of “postmaster” in their Person Documents?

this group does not have an internet access, and they do not have aliases… I’ll try to explain further, any time there is a dead message in mail.box mail router is sending notification to all members of this admin group about that, there must be setting where this is set, is there?

I think that you have an entry in your events4.nsf that is sending out the notifications. Take a look at that.

Subject: postmaster mail box - an RFC issue

The account: Postmaster@something.topleveldomain is an account expected to be set up for all SMTP servers. For the minutiae, read the RFC822 document. For a quickie:

6.3.  RESERVED ADDRESS

It often is necessary to send mail to a site, without knowing any of its valid addresses. For example, there may be mail system dysfunctions, or a user may wish to find out a person’s correct address, at that site.

This standard specifies a single, reserved mailbox address (local-part) which is to be valid at each site. Mail sent to that address is to be routed to a person responsible for the site’s mail system or to a person with responsibility for general site operation. The name of the reserved local-part address is:

                            Postmaster



 so that "Postmaster@domain" is required to be valid.



 Note:  This reserved local-part must be  matched  without  sensitivity to alphabetic case, so that "POSTMASTER", "postmaster", and even "poStmASteR" is to be accepted.

The best solution is to create a mail-in database with an internet address of postmaster@whatever.topleveldomain which corresponds to your situation. Some delivery notifications and spam will be routed there. You can set up an agent or replication setting to delete docs older than x days.

What about when spammers are using the postmaster account to send millions of emails to spam your domain?Nearly like a denial of service.Surely creating an agent to delete them just isn’t good enough?

How does the RFC expect you to deal with that?

I know its not Domino’s fault.

Anybody got any good ideas for that?
