SYMPTOMS
========

After a user attempts to send an e-mail message over an X.400 Connector, the
user may receive a non-delivery report (NDR) that contains the following text:

  The recipient name is not recognized.

The X.400 Connector has a size-limit restriction that is set lower than the size
of the sent message. In this case, the NDR should state that the message is too
large, not that the recipient is not recognized.

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur if the message transfer agent (MTA) is build number
5.5.2651.92 or later.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5.
