SYMPTOMS
After you create an X.400 personal address book (PAB) or one-off entry with the following format using the Microsoft Exchange client

 /c=us/admd=attmail/dda.type=id/dda.value=fax(b)1234561111(/User One)

when you send a message to this address, the message is returned to you. The non-delivery report (NDR) is similar to the following:

From: System Administrator

Sent: Tuesday, November 5, 1996 12:16 PM

Subject: Undeliverable: test using migrated PAB address

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject:test using migrated PAB address

Sent:11/5/96 12:16:08 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

'X.400' on 11/5/96 12:16:12 PM

The message was undelivered because the specified recipient postal address was incorrect

MSEXCH:MSExchangeIS:SITE:SERVER



CAUSE
The Microsoft Exchange Information Store, during its preliminary check of the address, regards the single forward slash mark (/) as a delimiter and rejects it as invalid, causing the non-delivery report.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem:
 * Include a second slash mark (//) in any X.400 personal address book entries created using the Microsoft Exchange client that require a forward slash mark in the DDA value.
