Hi,

I have the following problem

I have two domino servers :

the first is the mail server

the second server is a SMTP server located on the DMZ and is dedicated to route external email.

SMTP is used beetwen the 2 servers

Some users receive the following error when sending external email :

Error transferring to “servername”; Invalid Internet address specified.

I set the following notes variable to debug smtp : SMTPClientDebug=1

And I can see the following information in the Miscellaneous section of the log.nsf

All users are not impacted by this problem, only a few

Any ideas ?

Thanks

It looks like the From address is using the Fully Qualified Notes Name of the user. Does that user have a valid internet address in the Person Document? Is that getting populated in the Location Document?

yes the internet address is populated in the person document of the public addres book and in the location document of the local address book
