Hi all,

I've tried everything hard to nail this one, but can't.

We use an Exchange server for storing our mailboxes and
local delivery[i.e. people in the global address book with
an Exchange mailbox]. Internet mail is handled by post.office
offsite, i.e. Post.Office handles smtp and pop3.

The problem is that the X.400 address are sent in internet mail
which sometimes causes problems with people replying to mail.

It looks like Exchange does'nt know the difference between
local and internet mail and so assumes the mail address is local
and so puts in the X.400 address even though its sent to other
people on the net.

I've installed IMS, even though we dont use it, to see if it
makes any difference to the problem, which it did'nt.

Heres a sample message header dump below.

This is Exchange 5.5, without any service packs installed.

Any ideas?


thanks

What is the delivery order on the client? Is Exchange or internet mail
first?

Ok this is a wild shot, could it be some kind of X.400 address cache?

Remove the internet e-mail service from the clients and configure
Exchange to handle incoming and outgoing SMTP mail.
