Product(s): Microsoft Exchange

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

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS
========

If you select the "Override Internet Mail Service settings for this recipient"
check box on the Advanced tab in the properties for a custom recipient's SMTP
address, modify the default settings under Message Format, and then attempt to
save the changes by clicking OK twice, it may appear that the changes are not
saved. If you view the Advanced tab again, the default settings are displayed.
Note that this problem only occurs with custom recipients that are created for
Internet addresses.

CAUSE
=====

The Exchange Server Administrator program is always displaying the default
values whatever the values read from the directory.


RESOLUTION
==========

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but
has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems

specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Microsoft
Exchange Server version 5.0 service pack that contains this fix.
