When the NDR message is delivered to the message originator, the "supplementary info" field does not appear in the message in Exchange 2000 (837773)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • The Protek P772 extension is installed on some Microsoft Outlook MAPI client computers.
  • These Outlook clients connect to a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer.
  • The Exchange 2000 computer sends e-mail messages to a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 computer. Then, the Exchange Server 5.5 computer sends the messages to a third-party mail system through an X.400 connector.
If a user uses the Outlook client to send a message to a recipient that is not valid on a third-party mail system, a non-delivery report (NDR) message is created by the third-party mail system. The third-party mail system adds supplementary information in the supplementary info field of the NDR message to provide a detailed error description. Then, the NDR message is routed back to the Exchange 2000 computer through the Exchange Server 5.5 computer. When the NDR message is delivered to the message originator, the supplementary info field does not appear in the message.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the text in the supplementary info field in the NDR message is longer than 128 characters. Exchange 2000 uses Unicode characters for the supplementary info field. Every Unicode character has 2 bytes. RFC 1327 sets the limit of the supplementary info field to 256 bytes. Therefore, Exchange 2000 removes the supplementary info field when the text in the field is longer than 128 Unicode characters.
