SYMPTOMS
Consider a scenario where the following conditions are true:
- You send a message from a Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 mailbox server to a recipient who is outside your Exchange organization.
- This recipient has an address for which the following two Domain Defined Attributes (DDA) are configured:
- One DDA of type MSXCX500
- One DDA of type ACP-PLAD
- This message is sent to the remote organization through a bridgehead server that is running Exchange Server 2003.
- This message is sent to the remote organization through an X.400 connector.
When this message is sent to the remote recipient, the DDA of type ACP-PLAD is removed. In this scenario, the value of the type ACP-PLAD DDA is concatenated to the value of the type MSXCX500 DDA.
For example, consider the following network topology:
Organization A Organization B
Server A ---------- Bridgehead Server ----- X.400 ----- Bridgehead Server
| | |
(Exchange Server 5.5) (Exchange 2003) (Exchange 2003)You send a message to a recipient who has a recipient address that is similar to the following example address:
G=Name;S=Surname;OU1=OrgUnit1;O=Org1;P=mgmt+dom+name;A=AdmDomName;C=US;DDA:MSXCX500=C:US,O:Org,OU:OU2,OU:OU3,OU:Locations,L:Example,OU:ExampleOU,CN:Surname Name;DDA:ACP-PLAD=test
When this problem occurs, this recipient address is changed to the following:
G=Name;S=Surname;OU1=OrgUnit1;O=Org1;P=mgmt+dom+name;A=AdmDomName;C=US;DDA:MSXCX500=C:US,O:Org,OU:OU2,OU:OU3,OU:Locations,L:Example,OU:ExampleOU,CN:Surname Nametest
You expect the DDA of type ACP-PLAD to remain intact when you send the message to the remote recipient.
