MHS: Long User Names Conflict with -SF Switch (128440)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS 3.0

This article was previously published under Q128440

SYMPTOMS

If administrators use the -SF (Simple Format addressing) switch they will need to insure that all MSMail mailbox id's are no longer than 8 characters.

CAUSE

MHS only supports sending to 8 character user names. MSMail names longer than 8 characters can normally be included in the extended address field. The -SF switch disables the extended address field.

RESOLUTION

If administrators need to use the -sf switch and disable extended addressing they must ensure that all MSMail mailbox id's are 8 characters or less.
