XFOR: MS Mail X.400 Gateways and Exchange X.121 Addresses (156725)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q156725 SYMPTOMS
If your Microsoft Exchange Server sends a message indirectly via a Shared
File System (SFS) X.400 gateway, and part of the X.400 O/R address
contains:
X.121=
and there is a period between the X and the 1, the X.400 gateway will fail
to process the message. The following error will appear on the X.400
gateway if it is running with the -lvd command line option:
15:46:15 Extracting message from local message store: 00000020
15:46:15 DEBUG (Converting PC Mail message to X400): Translating to
X400
15:46:15 ERROR 3 (Creating P1 Recipient address): Malformed address:
type <16>
CAUSE
The SFS X.400 gateway will only process X.121 addresses when there is no
period between the X and the 1. The period will be present when an X.400
address is imported from Microsoft Mail to Microsoft Exchange Server using
Directory Synchronization (DirSync) and the address is of the format
c=gb;a=admd;p=prmd;x.121=1234567890. This is a valid address, but not an
address that the SFS X.400 gateway will be able to process.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the
