at one of our customer's one user sends a mail using Verse-on-premises. The mail is supposed to leave the local domain and be signed, using a server-plugin.
When I shutdown the router task, I can see the mail in mail.box. The documents item "InetFrom" only contains "." (dot). Subsequently the mail-signage that is based on the senders internetaddress fails.
Why does it only contain a dot? Der person document has a correct internetaddress. The database owner is set correctly (shows in the calendarprofile with inetfrom).
Strangely enough, external recipients receive the mail with correct sender address, so it must have been set the moment the mail leaves the Domino server.
Currently we have one user with this problem and another one working fine. So the impact is not yet clear.
The INetFrom item is a "parallel" item; "parallel" to the From item.
If the INetFrom item contains (or would contain) the same value as the From item, the value is replaced by the dot (".") to indicate that. This was done to save Summary item space.
So, for example if From contains "woof@bark.com" and INetFrom is the same, then INetFrom is set to a dot.
This is true for other address items, too, such as SendTo and INetSendTo. These are text list items, so they may have values like this:
So, in the case that would be working, the "From" contains the Notesname and "InetFrom" the internet address.
The errorneous case does have the Notesname in the From field, so based on your info that must mean that the router saw the Notesname in "InetFrom", which is confusing as well. How can THAT be? ;)
"the mail-signage that is based on the senders internetaddress fails"
Sorry for my german english. I mean, that there is a server plugin that is supposed to use S/MIME to sign the mail. Of course this plugin will look into the "InetFrom" to be able to identify the correct S/MIME certificate. I just wanted to give context, why the above even is a question.
