I surmise that you have two separate Exchange organizations, right? What you're seeing is by design. By default, you don't mail from outside your organization to resolve to names within your organization or else senders of Spam and kiddie porn can masquerade as your internal users. You can change this behavior for SMTP connections by changing the "ResolveP2" registry setting, but I'm not sure whether this also applies to X.400. Search TechNet for this keyword and see if it applies to your situation.

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. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
