DOCUMENT:Q195124 18-APR-1999 [exchange] TITLE :XCON: NDR When Replying All to Message Sent to Moved User PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:WinNT:5.5 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:exc55sp2fix ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== The Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA) may return a non- delivery report (NDR) similar to the following when a user attempts to Reply All to a message: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: Test Message Sent: 10/30/98 11:00 AM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: "User in PAB" on 10/30/98 11:01 AM The recipient name is not recognized MSEXCH:MSExchangeMTA:SITE:SERVER This problem may occur when the recipient's address was chosen from an old personal address book (PAB) entry that had been originally selected as a custom recipient in Container A, but had since been relocated to Container B. CAUSE ===== These NDRs occur because the PAB entry is storing an old distinguished name that is no longer accurate for that custom recipient since the custom recipient has been relocated to a new container. However, it should be possible to add an X500 distinguished name with the old address to the relocated custom recipient. The MTA will be able to send the message, but if the recipient attempts to "Reply All", they will receive an NDR when it attempts to send a message to the incorrect distinguished name for the original recipient. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the Latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later: Component: Message Transfer Agent (MTA) File Name Version ------------------------- Dbserver.sch 5.5.2427.0 Dcprods.cat 5.5.2427.0 Ems_rid.dll 5.5.2427.0 Emsmta.exe 5.5.2427.0 Info4log.cfg 5.5.2427.0 Infodlog.cfg 5.5.2427.0 Infollog.cfg 5.5.2427.0 Infotlog.cfg 5.5.2427.0 Mtacheck.exe 5.5.2427.0 Mtamsg.dll 5.5.2427.0 P2.xv2 5.5.2427.0 X400om.dll 5.5.2427.0 X400omv1.dll 5.5.2427.0 STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. ====================================================================== Keywords : exc55sp2fix Technology : kbExchangeSearch kbExchange550 kbZNotKeyword2 Version : WinNT:5.5 Issue type : kbbug Solution Type : kbfix ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
