SYMPTOMS
Currently, there is no support for the ISO 8859-7 (Greek) character set built into the Exchange Server message transfer agent (MTA). This may be an issue when communicating with systems using ISO 8859-7.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the Latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

Component: Message Transfer Agent

  File Name      Version -  Dbserver.sch   5.5.2401.0 Dcprods.cat   5.5.2401.0 Ems_rid.dll   5.5.2401.0 Emsmta.exe    5.5.2401.0 Info4log.cfg  5.5.2401.0 Infodlog.cfg  5.5.2401.0 Infollog.cfg  5.5.2401.0 Infotlog.cfg  5.5.2401.0 Mtacheck.exe  5.5.2401.0 Mtamsg.dll    5.5.2401.0 P2.xv2        5.5.2401.0 X400om.dll    5.5.2401.0 X400omv1.dll  5.5.2401.0



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 2.



MORE INFORMATION
To enable sending of ISO 8859-7 on an X.400 Connector, perform the following steps:

WARNING: Using the raw mode of the Exchange Server Administrator program (admin /r) incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows NT Server and/or Microsoft Exchange Server. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of raw mode can be solved. Use raw mode at your own risk.


 * 1) Start the Exchange Administrator program in raw mode (Admin.exe /R).
 * 2) Select the desired X.400 Connector.
 * 3) Press SHIFT+ENTER. This displays a list of Object Attributes.
 * 4) Search for "Translation Table Used". If this cannot be found, change "List attributes of type" to "All".
 * 5) Type 9 in the Edit Value field.
 * 6) Click Set.
 * 7) Click OK.

Inbound, ISO 8859-7 will be detected automatically.
