Could have been some third-party SMTP server in front of Exchange that re-aliased the address into an acceptable one.

This could be a couple things. One, many users see the display name and think that is their email address. I have people tell me their email address is "John Smith" or whatever all the time. My guess is that his display name has the funky N (sorry, I don't know the name of that character), and his email address did not. Another possibility is that (as you say) his old firm's software allowed non-compliant behavior. This happens all the time. Software often allows things to happen which should not. However, you cannot expect to be able to communicate with the rest of the world if your software is non-compliant. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
