Product Area: Client Technical Area: Mail Client - Mobile Usage Platform:
SPR# GLEE4RPLS2: Fixed a problem with mail not being delivered when sent disconnected, with encryption, to a group in a Directory Catalog only. The sender does not receive a Delivery Failure report. This regression was introduced in 5.0.3. For 5.0.3-5.0.4 users: for all users that send encrypted mail by default, you could create a separate directory catalog and include the field "members". Those users then could use that directory catalog. For 5.0.5 users: Please be advised that this problem can exist undetected and can only be fixed by upgrading to 5.0.6.
Technote Number: 1089977
Problem:
This is a regression that was introduced in 5.0.3. It was reported to Lotus
Quality Engineering and has been addressed in Notes 5.0.6.
Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 5.0.6 QMR Fix List:
Mail Client - Mobile Usage
SPR# GLEE4RPLS2: Fixed a problem with mail not being delivered when sent
disconnected, with encryption, to a group in a Directory Catalog only. The
sender does not receive a Delivery Failure report. This regression was
introduced in 5.0.3. For 5.0.3-5.0.4 users: for all users that send encrypted
mail by default, you could create a separate directory catalog and include the
field "members". Those users then could use that directory catalog. For 5.0.5
users: Please be advised that this problem can exist undetected and can only be
fixed by upgrading to 5.0.6.
This issue occurs only in releases 5.0.3 through 5.0.5 and only when all of the
following conditions are true:
1. You must be working disconnected from your Domino server.
2. You must create and send an email message.
3. The message must be addressed to a group.
4. The group must reside in the local Directory Catalog.
5. The 'Encrypt' Delivery Option must be selected.
If all five of the conditions listed above are met, the email message is lost.
This issue occurs because mail goes through a lookup to resolve addresses when
being moved into a mail.box. In disconnected mode, there is a second lookup
when the mail is moved to the server. This second lookup mistakenly assumes
the address is already fully qualified as a result of the first lookup;
however, the address is not already fully qualified in the first lookup when
using a group out of a Directory Catalog. DirCat does not have the necessary
members list, so this can only be resolved at the second lookup. So, when you
connect the group name is not expanded and Notes attempts to encrypt the group
name as if it were a user. This is the cause of the failure. No mailbox is
opened in the router and the email message is lost. The sender does not
receive a Delivery Failure report.
As a workaround for all 5.0.3 - 5.0.4 users that send encrypted mail by
default, you can create a separate directory catalog and include the field
"members". These 5.0.3 - 5.0.4 users can then use that directory catalog. For
5.0.5 users, please be advised that this problem can exist undetected and can
only be fixed by upgrading to the 5.0.6 client when it becomes available.Supporting Information:
