SYMPTOMS
========

When you migrate from an existing PC Mail Gateway to SMTP to the Microsoft
Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC), your user's SMTP addresses are modified
instead of keeping the original SMTP address configured in the SMTP Gateway.

CAUSE
=====

By default, Directory Synchronization creates new SMTP addresses for MS Mail
users according to the information found on the Site Addressing property page of
the Site Addressing object.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S.
Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
