XCON: MTA: Invalid Originator Address When Sending to X.400 (146032)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q146032 SYMPTOMS
When you send a message from Microsoft Mail through Microsoft Exchange
Server 5.0 to someone on an X.400 messaging system, a reply to this message
may not be possible. This occurs if you (the Microsoft Mail user) are not a
Custom Recipient on Microsoft Exchange Server, which can happen if, for
example, directory synchronization is not yet finished.
CAUSE
The message will arrive at the remote X.400 system with an invalid X.400
originator address in the P1 header fields. The X.400 address will only
contain a DDA Type and a DDA Value, which contains the Microsoft Mail
Address. For example:
DDA Type=MS;DDA Value=Net/PO/User
This address is invalid because mandatory parts are missing. A valid
address would look like this:
C=Country;A=Admin;P=Private;O=Org;DDA Type=MS;DDA Value=Net/PO/User
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 5.0 Server U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
