SUMMARY
Messages that are sent from one Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC) to another IMC with addresses that have more than 246 characters (before and after the '@') might fail with Non-Delivery Report (NDR) from the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant as "Unknown Host" rather than traveling through and returning with a "User Unknown" error.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 4.0 of Microsoft Exchange. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
