SYMPTOMS
The following error message occurs when you try to send a message to an X.400 One-Off address, such as "c=us;a= ;p=xyz;o=abc;s=userx" (without quotation marks):

Microsoft Exchange does not recognize "c=us"



CAUSE
This error occurs because Exchange interprets semi-colons in the address field as separator characters between two different addresses.



RESOLUTION
Put the X.400 One-Off address into the [x400: ] format to allow Exchange to interpret the semi-colons in the address as part of one X.400 address.

For example, put the "c=us;a= ;p=xyz;o=abc;s=userx" X.400 address in the following format in the To: field:

[x400:c=us;a= ;p=xyz;o=abc;s=userx]

When using a one-off format for the X.400 addresses that use a DDA (Domain Defined Attribute) the following syntax should be used:

[x400:c=us;a= ;p=xyz;o=abc;dda\:id=003749395]

In addition, the X.400 address can be put into the X.400 new template to be resolved automatically. To do this:
 * 1) Choose the TO button.
 * 2) Choose NEW and choose X.400 address.
 * 3) Add the addressee information to the appropriate field and choose OK.
