The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP, versions 2.1 and 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP sometimes displays this message in the SMTPGATE.LOG file and/or the Gateway PC screen:

   ERROR <mailbox name> is an invalid Courier Mailbox
   [tx]  550 Addressee unknown

CAUSE

The <mailbox name> in the first error line may be invalid because it is longer than 10 characters or includes characters not allowed under MS Mail. These lines appear only if you have started the Gateway with these options:

-cd -lacsy -gacsy

or,

-ci -lacsy -gacsy

RESOLUTION

Inform sender of the correct mailbox name.
