We added the [x.x.x.x] to the IMC and it worked fine. Apparently there was some miscommunication about what to put in the box and x.x.x.x was entered the first time. Now the client is off the blacklist. FYI, even though the MS article says the Exchange admin program strips off the [], it did not for this client. He entered another SMTP address for his mail account with the [x.x.x.x] format and verified it was correct via the raw mode of the admin program [admin /r]. Thanks again for all your help.

I was told by various members of this list that it just was not supported. I'll admit that I've never seen Q194742, though. -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 6:00 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Blacklisted Exchange 5.5 has always accepted @IP addresses - Q194742: SUMMARY In Exchange Server versions 4.0 and 5.0, it is not possible to send messages to a user by using the following format: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Address] However, in accordance with for Request for Comments (RFC) 821 and 821bis, this is a valid addressing format. Microsoft recognizes the need for compliance to this RFC specification. Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 allows for this addressing method and therefore allows messages to be sent by using this format. The feature involves a modification to the Exchange Server Internet Mail Service to understand IPv4 literals. The Internet Mail Service is now capable of accepting mail inbound, delivering outbound, and rerouting mail addressed in the format "[EMAIL PROTECTED] Address]," also known as IPv4 literal. NOTE: The admin does not allow you to create a proxy of the form '[EMAIL PROTECTED] Address]' (it strips the brackets).
