What you're seeing is a typical problem when you migrate mailboxes across organizations. Users reply to e-mails sent to them before the migration, and the reply is looking for an X.500 address for an object in the old organization. What is required is that old X.500 address be added to the contact in the new organization so that Exchange knows about it.

I had to add an X500 address on both the AD user record and also on the Exchange 5.5 record. The weird part is, whenever I create a new user, the X500 account gets added automatically. I had to add this one manually. But then, maybe I didn't wait long enough. Or maybe in the process of deleting and re-adding the mailbox, AD got confused. As Chris said: > Oi. Deleting mailboxes to fix issues can really be a pain.. I try not > to do that whenever possible for obvious reasons. Yeah. The problem originated a month or so ago when I mistakenly deleted the mailbox on the Exchange 5.5 server after I moved it to E2K3. Then, I reconnected it in E2K3, and we had these failures from HEAT sending using MAPI. Adding the X500 addresses a couple of weeks ago resulted in my still getting failure reports from HEAT, but the messages were actually successfully sent. Today, I thought deleting the mailbox, re-adding it, would synch everything up again. But, I suppose I should have just waited until off-hours, deleted the mailbox, waited a few hours, and then added it back again. I'm learning the hard way that changes to AD need time, apparently. Thanks for all your help, Chris and Ed. ==================================== Larry Wahlers, Systems Specialist Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
