Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): 5.5

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

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


SYMPTOMS
========

You may not be able to include the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) proxy
addresses of Exchange Server Mailboxes in the directory synchronization process
to the Alias field of the Novell GroupWise directory.

CAUSE
=====

This problem can occur because this capability was not included in the original
design of the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise.

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:

  Q191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the Latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack



STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 5.5 Service
Pack 4.

MORE INFORMATION
================

After you apply this fix, you can map the Exchange Server SMTP proxy to the
Alias field of the Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise.

To enable this feature, you need to add the following entries:

- In the Gwamap.tbl file:

  

  ExtName        128 External-Name

- In the Mexamap.tbl file:

  

  SMTPADDR    128 proxyAddresses(SMTP:)

- In the Mapmex.tbl file:

  

  ExtName = SMTPADDR

- In the Exchconn.ini file, under the [LME-GWISE] section:

  

  SMTPAliasType = <gateway_alias_type>

  where <gateway_alias_type> is the name of the gateway alias in the
  GroupWise directory.

Each of these entries must contain spaces to separate the fields and not tab
stops, because tab stops make the entry unreadable.

These entries populate the gateway Alias field with the Exchange Server mailbox's
SMTP proxy address.
