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.
- Start the Exchange Administrator program in raw mode (Admin.exe /R).
- Select the desired X.400 Connector.
- Press SHIFT+ENTER. This displays a list of Object Attributes.
- Search for "Translation Table Used". If this cannot be found, change "List attributes of type" to "All".
- Type 9 in the Edit Value field.
- Click Set.
- Click OK.
Inbound, ISO 8859-7 will be detected automatically.
