SYMPTOMS
========
If you have configured the Exchange Server message transfer agent (MTA) to map
between SMTP addresses and X.400 addresses according to the following Microsoft
Knowledge Base article:
Q238507 XCON: Exchange Server Message Transfer Agent MIXER Mapping Tables
the subdomains of the SMTP address may not be mapped to organizational unit (OU)
attributes in the X.400 O/R address.
For example, the following entry in the Mcgam.in.txt file maps "eur.fr" to
"C=FR;A=ADMD;P=PRMD":
eur.fr#prmd$PRMD.admd$ADMD.c$FR#
A message that is addressed to user@dept.area.eur.fr should then be converted to
an X.400 message that is addressed to C=FR;A=ADMD;P=PRMD;O=area;OU1=dept, but
the actual mapping is to C=FR;A=ADMD;P=PRMD;O=area. No OUs are mapped.
CAUSE
=====
This issue can occur because the Exchange Server MTA contains a logic error that
causes the generated OU values to be overwritten.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5.
For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:
