SMTP mail accepted, for user listed in deny group

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 difference between them and the rest is, that their address is in a subdomain: first.last@subdom.domain.com. All others are first.last@domain.com, or short@domain.com.

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.

Subject: SMTP mail accepted, for user listed in deny group

do search in $Users view using local part.

Subject: no one there

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.

Subject: Here is explaination

Domino Server still accept’s mail if sender does not specified domain part, or specified alias domain:this address is in Deny list:

robert@primarydomain.com

220 mail3.primarydomain.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 6.5) ready at Wed, 4 Feb 2004 11:57:36 +0100

helo me.primarydomain.com

250 mail3.primarydomain.com Hello me.primarydomain.com ([My IP]), pleased to meet you

mail from:nobody@yahoo.com

250 nobody@yahoo.com… Sender OK

rcpt to:robert@primarydomain.com

554 Mail for robert@primarydomain.com rejected for policy reasons.

rcpt to:robert@aliasdomain.com

250 robert@aliasdomain.com… Recipient OK

rcpt to:robert

250 robert… Recipient OK

of course it will not explan your situation in case of “Verify that local domain recipients exist in the Domino Directory:” is really enabled.

and I need to ask you again are you sure that specified users are not in $users view in any of server’s address books?

probably you are using global configuration document which may take precedance over server-specific configuration document (at least saw it in R5)
