How do you set up a Do Not Reply or dnr email address or id in Lotus Notes?




To set up a way of sending emails from an address without getting lots of replies.

 

Set up an id as usual in the admin client: with single word ids or mail addresses I use the last name.

Tick to set up the mail box for now. You can always delete it later.

 

Go to Server's Name and address book NAB.

Go to Server/Configurations/Configurations view  aka Servers\Configurations and edit the relevant server's document.

Click on the Router/SMTP Tab.

Click on the Restrictions And Controls Tab.

Click on the SMTP Inbound Controls tab

Add the email address to "Deny messages intended for the following internet addresses:"

These addresses are semicolon separated.

Save and close.

Open up the mail db and  send a few emails, then try replying to them. It should fail.

Save any agents with the id.

Delete the mailbox if you need to. Might be worth keeping for tests though and for manual emails.
