getSenderEmailAddress() where Sender Address Type is Exchange [in PSTMessage Class]

[eKerne]

Hi All,

I was wondering if I could get some help on figuring on a strange output from getSenderEmailAddress() where getSenderAddrtype() is 'EX', or exchange.

getSenderEmailAddress() returns a regular email address when the type is SMTP, however with exchange I get back some kind of metadata as the email address, in the format of:

/O=DomainName/OU=GroupName/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=userID [I've substituted out the actual names]

I can't seem to find any methods that might be able to get the actual address... maybe it's not actually present in the PST file?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

When I was working on extracting SMTP addresses from a PST file, there were cases where it simply wasn't there.  This is probably one of them.  It seemed inconsistent as to whether an SMTP address would be there or not.

That's the "legacy dn" attribute which you'll find linked to in AD. That's how exchange identifies internal users - it's the verbose equivalent of a UUID

Is there any update on a fix or work around for this? I didn't really understand what Michael Bell said
