STATUS

MORE INFORMATION

When Outlook modifies the recipient list during creation of a message, it re-sorts the recipient list internally. This list is not interpreted correctly by the Exchange Server message transfer agent (MTA).

This behavior occurs when two Exchange Server computers are connected by an X.400 Connector with the default parameters, except that the Allow MS Exchange Contents and Two Way Alternate check boxes are cleared.
