XCON: cc:Mail Address Is Truncated and You Receive a Non-Delivery Report (NDR) When You Reply to All (814670)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP1
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP2
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP3
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP4

SYMPTOMS

When you send an e-mail message from one Exchange Server site to a recipient with a Lotus cc:Mail address in another Exchange Server site that is connected by an X.400 Connector, the cc:Mail address of the recipient may be truncated when you view its properties in Microsoft Outlook. When you use the Reply to All command in the message that you sent, you receive a non-delivery report (NDR).

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the cc:Mail address of the recipient contains more than 128 characters. In this scenario, the cc:Mail address is truncated to 128 characters and is not correctly resolved to the user name. Therefore, an NDR is generated for the truncated cc:Mail address when you reply to all.
