Domino: When forwarding a copy of all inbound emails to an external email address, the original recipient is missing

Our service needs a copy of all inbound emails from the client. This is not a problem for Exchange, Gmail and other email client - server combos.

However, our clients using HCL (formerly IBM, lotus) Domino / Notes combo are able to forward the email, but Mailgun (our inbound mail system) is rejecting the emails because they do not include the original recipient in the envelope.

Does anyone know how to forward a copy of all emails from the Domino server in a way that INCLUDES the original sender?

Solution

  • A mail is received by a Domino server for person user A. You would like to have an exact copy of that mail sent to your mail server. That can probably be accomplished on the Domino server using a mail group.

    Example:

    The following changes can be applied:

    • create a mail group called salesgroup
    • add sales to the group
    • add [email protected] to the group

    When a mail is sent to [email protected], the Domino server delivers the mail to every address mentioned in the group.

    N.B. The Router Configuration document will have to be modified in order to permit an outside mail to be relayed to an outside address.
