As another Notes/Domino shop, we run into the same problem occasionally. We just tell the user that the sender has a poorly configured M$ Exchange system and that it is up to the sender to fix their problem. Lotus documents the problem at http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21093342 with a link to a M$ KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q138053 Over the years, we learned a very useful phrase from Lotus support documents: "System operating as designed." _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
