SYMPTOMS
When the Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA) receives an inbound X.25 connection, it mail refuse the connection due to an incorrect X.121 address even though the addresses match on both sides.



CAUSE
Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0 improperly overwrites the inbound X.121 address field with the Incoming Facilities Data field and this causes the X.121 addresses not to match when a session attempt is made.



RESOLUTION
If the Facilities Call Data field does not have to be used, the field can be left blank and the inbound X.121 address will be unaffected.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 4.0 of Microsoft Exchange. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 4.0 Server U.S. Service Pack.
