Notes delivers mail to firstname@domain.com

We have Lotus Domino 7.0.3, and one of our users started to get some UCE
from various locations. All of our Lotus Notes Users receive mail as
"Firstname_Lastname@domain.com". This one user is getting the emails
that are just addressed to "Firstname@domain.com".

The user's name is Kevin O'Keefe (note the apostrophe). In his person
document in the NAB, he has 2 usernames:

Kevin O'Keefe/org
Kevin O'Keefe

There is nothing under Alternate name, and the short name only contains
KO'Keefe.

I figure there must be some configuration option that would allow users
to receive email by their first name only, but I have no idea where it
would be located, or what it would be called. Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks.

By default, addresses are matched against the $Users view, and that view
includes first name as one of the indexed values. When SMTP mail is
delivered to a server, it first attempt to match against
name@domain.com, and if no match, then looks for just the local part. In
this case "kevin". Most likely your kevin is the first one found in the
$Users view.
