The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q153150 SYMPTOMS
When you send messages through the Internet Mail Connector (IMC), the
following error message may appear:
The following recipient could not be reached . . .
This is followed by the e-mail address of the individual you were trying to
reach.
CAUSE
If the Domain Name Service (DNS) administrator has used "wildcards" in the
MX entry for a domain, the above error message appears.
RESOLUTION
Contact your DNS administrator (or your Internet service provider [ISP] if
it is providing DNS).
MORE INFORMATION
In many instances, your ISP is also providing the Domain Name Service (DNS)
resolution. This eliminates the need for smaller users to maintain their
own DNS server. However, the problem described here may also occur if your
DNS server is in-house.
