Mass emailing are emailed out to to all approx 15000 users. The groups are nested. Customer sends to “NMGroup1″ that has 10 nested groups which have has about 2500 users in different sub groups. When the user hits SEND, the workstaion becomes  unrepsponsive for up to 4 hours.

Steps to Reproduce: 

This is reproducible from other workstations.

The groups involved are ALL on the server

• Recent contacts are disabled
• if email is sent to to smaller groups it gets sent  within 20 minutes.
• Added the following debugto Notes.in and have attached the console.log and log.log file

  console_log_enabled=1
  debug_mailer=1
  debug_namelookup=1

Local fix:

Reduce the size of large groups ;

Problem summary:

This APAR is closed as FIN. We have deferred the fix to a future release.

Error description:

iNotes user can not send a mail with an attachment file when the size of database is over quota.

Domino administrator adds the following parameter to notes.ini.

iNotes_wa_Ignore_Quota=1

However, following error message was displayed when iNotes user sent a mail with an attachment file.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Domino administrator add iNotes_wa_Ignore_Quota=1 parameter to notes.ini.
2. Set shorter database quota than current size in the DWA mail database (If the size of your mail database is 20MB, set 25MB in database quota).
3. Set “Deliver anyway (don’t obey quotas)” in server configuration document – [Router/SMTP] – [Restriction and Controls] – [Delivery controls] – [over quota enforcement].
4.  Open iNotes and log in.
5. Set “Don’t keep a copy” in iNotes Preferences – [Mail] – [General] – [Save sent mail], and save a preference.
6. Create new mail and attach a attachment file.
7. Send a mail.

Result: Following error message was displayed.

“Unable to write to database because database would exceed its disk quota.”

This issue does not occur by Domino 8.5.3 for English edition.

I was able to send a mail with an attachment file by iNotes 8.5.3 for English Edition.

Abstract:

IBM Lotus Notes and IBM Lotus Domino are vulnerable to four Java exploits where malicious agents, applets, or XPages applications can escalate privileges. These vulnerabilities are in the IBM Java SDK.

Content:

​For information about the impact of this vulnerability on other affected IBM products, ​refer to this post​ on the Product Security Incident Reporting Team (PSIRT) blog.

VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
CVE IDs: CVE-2012-4820, CVE-2012-4821, CVE-2012-4822, CVE-2012-4823

Description:

There are a number of vulnerabilities in the IBM Java SDK versions that affect various components (ORB, XML and JMX). The vulnerabilities allow code running under a security manager to escalate its privileges by modifying or removing the security manager. Some of the issues need to be combined in sequence to achieve an exploit.

An attacker could persuade a user into running Java code from an untrusted, malicious source resulting in privilege escalation. The attacker must convince the Notes user to click on a malicious Notes:// URL which, in turn, runs a Java agent, applet or XPages application. The attack against the Domino server can be exploited only by an authenticated user with the rights to run LotusScript or Java agents on the server.

Affected Plattform: Lotus Notes 8.0.X, 8.5, 8.5.X, 8.5.3 FP3

Fix : 8.5.3 FP3 or security patch

Tip: @noteID

Step2:

   edit server notes.ini and restart server
   oder/or
   Console: set config  DEBUG_DAOS_DIAGNOSTICS=1

Problem:

When a return receipt is sent to an external user and disclaimers are enabled on the client or server, the return receipt does not include the return receipt body – only the disclaimer is included. This causes confusion with the sender and is thought to be SPAM.

Steps:

1. Enable Return Receipts
2. Enable message disclaimers
3. Create and process a mail policy
4. Send an external mail to a user who has the mail policy enabled
5. Open the message in the user’s mailfile – a return receipt will be sent.
6. View the message from the external source. Only the disclaimer is present.

Symptom:

Return receipts sent to an external recipient show a blank body.Return receipts sent to an external recipient show a blank body.

Cause: 

This has been identified as a product defect under APAR LO65112 and SPR TPON8N7DKT. The issue started in 8.5.3 and occurs when there is a mail policy present. The disclaimer portion of the policy does not actually have to contain any text but the problem will still occur if the disclaimers are enabled in the configuration document under the Router/SMTP>Message Disclaimers tab.

Environment: 

Domino 8.5.3

Diagnosing the problem: 

A meeting invitee is able to cancel a meeting for everyone.

Resolving the problem: 

Issue has been resolved in 8.5.3 FP2. The current workaround is disabling the disclaimer.

Neue Funktion:

Wenn Sie eine E-Mail adressieren, wird während der Adresseingabe eine Liste mit Namen und Adressen angezeigt. Dabei handelt es sich um Ihre “letzten Kontakte “, die automatisch basierend auf den Personen ausgewählt werden, mit denen Sie kürzlich per Chat, E-Mail oder in einer Besprechung Kontakt hatten.

Um eine “unerwünschte” Adresse (zum Beispiel fehlerhafte, veralterte  etc) nicht mehr in dieser Auswahlliste angezeigt zu bekommen, können Sie diese Adresse “In Schnelladressierung verbergen”

dauerhafte Lösung für “unerwünschte Adressen” (Alternative zum löschen)

New feature:

When a bad address is in general use, it keeps getting re-added to your recent contacts. To prevent this, mark the Recent Contact as “Hide in Typeahead” instead of deleting. When a Recent Contact record is marked as “Hide In Typeahead” it is ignored by typeahead and Send. Processing new mail with this address will not change this contact. Opening a Non Delivery Report with status failure, will also mark a Recent Contact as “Hide In Typeahead”.

Problem:

You upgrade your Lotus Domino server and the NAMES.NSF (NAB) from 8.5.2 to 8.5.3. Your Notes clients are 7.0.3. You change the name of a policy and re-save the policy document. Some unexpected changes will be seen in the client User Preferences.

Example:

“Mail file location” is changed from server (default) to local
“Replication interval” is changed to 60 minutes (both for normal and high priority)
Other possible settings also affected are “Internet browser” in location document and “recipient name lookup”
