XFOR: IMC Resolves Domain Names using MX Record Lookup (146783)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q146783 SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC) resolves domain names
for delivery using an MX record lookup (including the domain search list).
MORE INFORMATION
To be consistent with how Sendmail works and consistent with how Sendmail
administrators configure their DNS servers, the IMC should do a CNAME
record lookup (using the domain search list) to canonicalize the domain
name and then search the MX record space with the canonicalized name
(without using the domain search list).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 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.
