XIMS: Addresses Rerouted to IPv4 Literals Result in NDRs (245740)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q245740

SYMPTOMS

If you configure the Routing tab in the properties for the Internet Mail Service so that messages addressed to a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) are rerouted to an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) literal, and then messages are sent through the connector, the Internet Mail Service may randomly generate non-delivery reports (NDRs). This issue is most likely to occur when numerous e-mail clients generate heavy message traffic.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the Internet Mail Service modifies an entry in the routing table.
