MAIL
To comply with Internet addressing standards, Domino uses RFC 821 or RFC 822 address formats for any message sent over SMTP, as illustrated in the following table.
It's easy for the Router to add the appropriate address when it's been defined in the sender's Person document. In this case, the sender's Notes client enters the Internet address in the INetFrom field of the message. When converting the message for SMTP transfer, the Router uses the supplied Internet address.
For more information about Location documents, see the topic Creating or editing a Location document manually if you have installed Lotus Notes Help. Or visit the Documentation Library at the Lotus Developer Domain at http://www.lotus.com/ldd/doc to download or view Notes Help.
If the sender's Internet address is not present in the Notes message, the Router can attempt to retrieve it from the Person document. For address lookups to occur, you must enable them on the MIME - Conversion Options - Outbound tab of the server's Configuration Settings document (if lookups are disabled in the Configuration Settings document, they can occur if enabled in the Global domain document).
Finally, if the Router cannot obtain the sender's Internet address from either the message itself or the Person document, it will construct the address. You can specify the rules for constructing this address in the Global domain document, but in the absence of a Global domain document, the Router constructs Internet addresses using the following default format:
