The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS
========
The following error may display when a reply is sent to an MHS mail user from
Microsoft Mail in a non-delivery notice:
Invalid Address
CAUSE
=====
This may happen if the original message received by the Microsoft Mail user
through the MHS gateway includes a comment field in the header, that contains a
comma. In this case, the comma is seen as an address delimiter. Everything
before the comma is one address, and everything after the comma is a separate
address.
