I'm not sure about the x.400 spec, but if you are upgrading from 5.5 to 2000
then you are correct.  Since 2000 requires Active Directory, AD follows the
standard BIND DNS naming conventions.  It only allows letters, numbers or a
hyphen.  An underscore is allowed in a NetBIOS naming convention, but not in
AD.  

This info is found in RFC952 in the Lexical Grammar section (I had this info
on file from a customer site and it was not the easiest documentation to
find!).

Subject: x.400 name


Does anyone know of any issues with an x.400 address that contains an
underscore.  It looks like the x.400 generator puts a "?" for the
underscore, but is this a problem. I am working on a system that is
upgrading from exchange 5.5, 3 sites, connected with site connectors.  We
are unsure if some of the unknown mail routing issues are a result of this
underscore in the ORG name that is in the x.400 address.
