Wed, Jan 27th 2010 10:58a Matt Cook Had someone come to me saying he enabled his out-of-office agent on the BlackBerry, later disabled it, then checked it in his Notes client to make sure it was disabled. He received an error message similar to “Notes error: This agent contains an illegally added ‘On behalf’ attribute.”
Simple solution I thought, would be to [...] [read] Keywords: agent

How My Mileage Varied
Fri, Sep 25th 2009 11:54p Matt Cook When reviewing Planet Lotus recently, I came across this Stephan Wissel entry re: minimizing your server downtime when upgrading Domino.

The Domino Encounter
Wed, Aug 26th 2009 10:59a Matt Cook A few years ago I found the entire Sierra Space Quest series in the bargain bin for $9.99. I loved the Sierra games when I was a kid so I picked it up and began working my way through the games again.

Build Internet Mail Access List Using Domino Agent and HTTP
Thu, Nov 2nd 2006 12:45a Matt Cook Due to an overwhelming volume of spam, we were desperately in need of a solution to cut down on our inbound volume so our spam filters could handle the load. Blacklists were considered unacceptable due to business risk and our firewalls currently do not support lookups to an LDAP directory to verify deliverable addresses. They [...] [read] Keywords: agent

Domino Sign Agents to Run on Behalf Of

A Quick Way to Create Mail Files on Remote Servers
