All,
 
I've got an Exchange 5.5 system and an Exchange 2000 system connected by
X400 connector. I have added the appropriate X400 address space on each
side of the connector to route mail to/from each system correctly. I am
using an in-house written app to maintain directory information. It
creates custom recipients (Ex5.5) and contacts (Ex2000) in each directory
with an X400 target address corresponding to mailboxes in the remote
directory.
  
My problem is how recipient addresses are recognised by the Exchange 5.5
system. For example:
 
User on Exchange 2000 system chooses my contact from their address list
and sends mail.
The target address is the X400 address of my mailbox.
The mail is routed over the X400 connector to my mailbox.
When I open the mail and look at the properties of the sender, it
correctly resolves to the custom recipient that we have in our directory
(because the sender X400 address matches to the custom recipient) When I
look at properties of the recipient however, they just show the
"legacyexchangedn" value from the contact on the exch2000 system. It
doesn't resolve to any object from our directoy.

So it appears that the sender field is received as an X400 value, which we
can resolve to our directory, but the recipients field is received as an
X500 value, which we can't.

Can anyone explain the reason for this behaviour to me? Why aren't the
recipients addresses also seen as X400?

This becomes a problem where the the original mail is sent to multiple
recipients on the Exch5.5 system. If any of the recipients chooses to
"reply-all", only the sender address is resolved correctly. The other
original recipients are not then properly addressed.

Apologies for the ramble, but I hope it makes sense. Thanks in advance for
any insight.

Cheers, Nick.
