XFOR: Notes SMTP Addresses Are Truncated upon Reply |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
SYMPTOMS
When a Lotus Notes client replies to a message received through the
Microsoft Exchange Notes Connector originating from the Internet, the
originator's e-mail address is truncated. A reply to this message will
arrive correctly at the destination, however, recipients listed on the CC
line who further Reply All to this message do not have a valid Notes
address to reply to.
CAUSE
This behavior is due to the Exchange Notes Connector's convention for
encapsulating one-off addresses (including SMTP) from Exchange Server into
Notes to allow Reply/ReplyAll. It uses the at sign (@) to delimit the
RFC822 DisplayName, RFC822 address, and AddressType because that is what
Notes uses as a delimiter. Notes does not handle this convention as
expected, and does not build the reply addresses correctly.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
