SYMPTOMS
When you import a .csv file, the import command may fail and the event viewer application log may report errors similar to the following:   Event ID: 13 Source: X400Proxy Type: Warning Category: None Description: Unable to process custom recipient Arcand, Lyne: BLUEMOON because the target address is not valid. X400:/C[ASCII 202]/A=TEL.CAN/G=Lyne/S=Arcand/O=BLUEMOON/OU1=CISTI.NRC.OTT/ DDA:ID=ILL.CISTI

Event ID: 235 Source: MSExchangeDSImp Type: Error Category: None Description: X400 address failure. An illegal type name was specified at  character position 87 of 'X400:/C[ASCII 202]/A=TEL.CAN/G=Lyne/S=Arcand/O=BLUEMOON/OU1=CISTI.NRC.OTT/ DDA:ID=ILL.CISTI'.



CAUSE
The .csv file may contain Domain Defined Attributes (DDA) values. DDA is the format used for custom recipients such as Microsoft Mail users or SMTP users. The Exchange Server import function does not properly handle incoming X.400 addresses that contain a forward slash (or solidus) as part of a DDA Value. When Exchange Server encounters a forward slash as part of a DDA value, it reports an error. The X.400 custom recipient is not created in Exchange Server.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem:


 * 1) Edit the .csv file and globally replace /DDA with ;DDA.
 * 2) Save and close the .csv file and re-import it into Exchange Server by clicking Import on the Tools menu.
