XFOR: Adding Secondary SMTP Proxy Address for GroupWise Dirsync

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SUMMARY

The latest version of the Microsoft Exchange Server Connector for Novell GroupWise no longer generates the SMTP proxy address of GroupWise users based on the GroupWise domain information (or their gateway alias). However, users may want to continue using the gateway alias (if one exists) for their secondary SMTP proxy address or to generate a secondary SMTP proxy address based on a rule.

MORE INFORMATION

For more information on customizing the mapping rules, see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q196585 Creating Secondary Proxy Addresses During Notes Dirsync

Q180517 Customizing Dirsync Between Exchange and Notes

1. Add the following line to Mexamap.tbl:

   SMTPADDR2 128 Secondary-Proxy-Addresses(smtp:)

2. Add the following line to Gwamap.tbl:

   SMTPADDR 128 External-Name

3. Add the following line to Mapgwise.tbl:

   SMTPADDR2 = ISEQUAL(SMTPADDR, "", OBJECT "@groupwise.com", SMTPADDR)

   Note that if the OBJECT attribute contains spaces (allowable by GroupWise), it results in an update to the GroupWise custom recipient every time directory synchronization occurs. This adds some directory replication traffic between Exchange Server computers. To avoid this additional traffic, other means of mapping rules must be implemented.



4. Open the Exchconn.ini file, and look for the following parameter setting (it should be under the [LME-GWISE] section):

   SMTPAliasType=

5. Add the following keyword to that parameter setting:

   SMTPAliasType=SMTP

6. Run a Full Reload directory synchronization from GroupWise to Exchange Server.
