• Don't reject mail because it comes from a server

    By Steve J Swift 1 decade ago

    I'm getting log entries like this:

    Subject=Cron /home/webstuff/cppsims/notify
    SMTPOriginator=webstuff@kuckoo6.dyn.webahead.ibm.com
    From=root@kuckoo6.dyn.webahead.ibm.com (Cron Daemon)
    $SMTPNotFromNotes=
    Skipping mail because it is from server

    Is there some way of turning the handling back on? I cannot influence the email/SMTP headers as the email is generates by cron on our Linux server.

      Hi Steve.

      The reason why the email is skipped is because the code checks for the field "$SMTPNotFromNotes" in the email and if it doesn't exists the email is skipped. If this field exists then it means that the email is from a POP mail account otherwise it is from a notes mail server. The check is used so that the rules are not run twice: First by the notes server and then by the addin. If your mail comes as a normal mail into a notes mail database on the server, then the server should have run the rules and the addin is not needed. The addin only handles POP mail, since the rules never run for that kind of mail.

      So I am not sure this is an error, you should check the notes server for any signs of problems of running mail rules. If you still think this is an error, then please post some more information like what kind of a mail account is being retrieved from (POP/IMAP) and if you have installed the addin on the client or the server.
