Q195905: XCON: Address Space Not Updated When You Recalculate GWART

Article: Q195905
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): WinNT:5.5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): exc55sp2fix
Last Modified: 21-APR-1999

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

If you modify an entry on the Address Space tab in the properties for a
Microsoft Exchange Server connector so that the address is not specific enough,
recalculate the gateway address routing table (GWART), and then modify the entry
again so that the address is more specific, the address space may not be updated
when you recalculate the GWART again. As a result, when you send a message
through the connector, you receive a non-delivery report (NDR) that contains the
following text:

  The recipient name is not recognized.

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:

  X400om.dll     5.5.2410.0

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, run the Exchange Server Administrator program in
raw mode, and then in the properties for the Site Addressing object, manually
remove the old address from the Site-Proxy-Space object attribute. After you
remove the address, recalculate the GWART again.

STATUS

version 5.5.
