XFOR: cc:Mail Messages Are Not Delivered by DEC Mail Bus

 Last reviewed: July 15, 1997
Article ID: Q145875
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

Messages that originate from cc:Mail and pass through an X.400 connector to DEC Mail Bus may end up in the BAD Mail Directory on the DEC Mail Bus system. The message will not be delivered to the final recipient, and a non- delivery-report (NDR) is not sent back to the originator of the message.

CAUSE

The cc:Mail Connector is incorrectly setting the MAPI property PR_RECIPIENT_NUMBER to -1, which the store then maps to the corresponding XAPI attribute for Recipient Number.

MORE INFORMATION

The DEC Mail Bus system will report the following error as a reason for the failure: 

   <OriginallySpecifiedRecipientNo>
   ERROR: ASN.1 Encoding Error, Integer Value Exceeds 32 bits
