Err Msg: Receiver(s) Not Valid for Binary Message (136101)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q136101 SYMPTOMS
If you try to send Rich Text Format (RTF) mail to an Internet address
using the CompuServe Mail provider for Microsoft Exchange, you receive the
following non-delivery report:
The following recipients could not be reached...
Receiver(s) not valid for binary message
CAUSE
This message is returned by CompuServe. CompuServe's gateway to Internet
mail does not support sending binary attachments to Internet recipients.
Since an RTF message is sent as a message with a binary attachment, the
message cannot be sent.
RESOLUTION
When you compose new mail for an Internet recipient using the CompuServe
Mail provider, do not enable the CompuServe Mail provider's "Send using
Microsoft Exchange rich-text format" option.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Exchange bundles RTF attributes into a special binary attachment
file called Winmail.dat. If an RTF message is addressed to both CompuServe
and Internet recipients, all the recipients receive an error message, even
though the CompuServe recipients may be capable of receiving a message
with a binary attachment.
