XFOR: IMS Uses Incorrect Reply To Address

Last reviewed: February 13, 1998
Article ID: Q176739

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

This problem occurs when you are using the routing feature in following scenario:

   UNIX (host1.osu.com)----Exchange Server (osu.com)-----Internet

In the registry for IMS/Parameters to have: AddressRewrite:DWORD=1 and ResolveP2:DWORD=1.

In Exchange Server, you create a customer recipient for a USER1 on host1 as follows:

      smtp  user1@host1.osu.com
      SMTP  user1@osu.com

A mesasge is sent from user1 where the originator address is user1@host1.osu.com into Exchange Server destined to the Internet.

The problem is that the Internet recipient sees user1@host1.osu.com in the 822 body instead of user1@osu.com.
