XADM: X.400 Connector Rejects Messages to PC Mail

Last reviewed: September 23, 1997
Article ID: Q147599

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Exchange X.400 connector as a gateway, messages are rejected and the following message appears:

   The "originator name" sequence is invalid: no domain is specified,
   but only the "DDA" field of the sender.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Exchange cannot map the PC Mail user to a valid X.400 address.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, create a complete X.400 address for the PC Mail user. To do this, do one of the following:

Create a custom recipient for the PC Mail account on the Exchange server
-or-
Implement Directory Synchronization on the Exchange server.
