We’ve got an extensive list of internet addresses we’re no longer accepting mail for. Addresses used by spammers, former employees etcetera. This has worked in R5 and still works in all ND6 versions. Except for two internet addresses! Rejecting inbound mail has always failed for these two names.
The subdomain these two internet addresses use, is listed in the global domain document under ‘alternate internet domains’.
Does anyone have an idea why mail to these users is still accepted by the Domino server? What’s even more strange, recently we have enabled ‘Verify that local domain recipients exist in the Domino Directory:’ so the mail should not be accepted in the first place. Again, this only fails for these two users.
They are not in the $users view. Besides, even if they were, they are listed in the SMTP inbound configuration as ‘denied’ addresses. I thought mail would never be accepted for users in that field, regardless of their existence in $users.
