XFOR: OV/VM Connector Fails to Return NDR for Message Addressed to Non-Existent Exchange PROFS Proxy Addresses |
The information in this article applies to:
-
LinkAge Message Exchange, version 3.2
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
SYMPTOMS
The LinkAge Connector version 3.2 and Microsoft Exchange Connector for IBM
OV/VM version 5.5 fail to return non-delivery reports (NDRs) for messages
that are addressed to non-existent Exchange PROFS proxy addresses.

Exchange Site 1
NODE1 (USER1)
Address Space on OV/VM Connector in Site 1:
PROFS * cost=1
If a user in Site 1 addresses a message to an unknown mailbox, using Site
1's PROFS proxy node name of NODE1, the sender never receives an NDR.
For example, if the Exchange user USER1 addresses a message to the unknown
PROFS proxy address NODE1(UNKNOWN), USER1 never receives an NDR.
However, if the same user addresses a message to an unknown PROFS address
whose node name is not used as an Exchange Site Addressing PROFS proxy
address, the sender receives an NDR as expected.
