XFOR: SMTP Address Space Appears as a Semicolon (146299)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q146299 SYMPTOMS
If the Address Space on the Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector
(IMC) is set to TYPE:SMTP and the ADDRESS value is left blank then on the
Site Addressing-Routing property page the SMTP address appears as a semi-
colon (;) in the VALUE column.
RESOLUTION
This is just a display problem and does not effect the working of the
Microsoft Exchange IMC and the Microsoft Exchange message transfer agent
(MTA). The blank address space on the IMC means that any address of type
SMTP should be sent to the IMC from the MTA.
Microsoft suggests to get better performance from the IMC/MA, the value of
"*" should be used instead of leaving it blank.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 4.0, of Microsoft
Exchange. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
