We had quite a few mac users in our environment. Instead of using the Notes mac client, they have chosen to set up their mac mail using our IMAP settings. I'm cool with that. However, when a person schedules them for a meeting and they accept/decline, the notice doesn't come back into the meeting chair as if they processed it through a true notes client. It comes back as a .ics attachment. So in order for the meeting chair to view invitee status, they have to open up the .ics attachment and import it into their calendar (at least that's the only way I have found to do this so far). We are using Notes 8.5. The other thing we found is that it does not place the meeting on the recipients Notes calendar. Is there a better way to set this up beyond telling the user to use the Notes client on their mac?

Over the last several days, members of our Domino administrators group kept receiving emails addressed to postmaster@ourdomain.com. The emails were being generated from an agent in a mail file that sends out a auto reply. It just so happens the postmaster account is also being used on our antispam server to let people know if they have a blocked attachment. So the auto reply was trying to send an email back to the antispam server and of course couldn't find a email account for it. Searching Lotus' knowledgebase, I found technote #1106677. Evidently to be fully compliant with RFC 822 a mail system must accept messages addressed to postmaster@domain. If no match is found (i.e. no user or group is assigned this address) Domino will delivery the message to the administrator(s) by default. The solution is to associate postmaster@yourdomain to a mail account. So I learned something new today.
