SYMPTOMS

When you try to view the details of an address chosen from the Global Address List (GAL), and you are connected to the postoffice (PO) database over a local area network (LAN), you may get the following error message: 

   Address is no longer valid. User or PO no longer exists.

CAUSE

Only external postoffice addresses in the GAL containing extended ASCII characters in their friendly name will exhibit the above symptom.

Notes:
