Application Development Software

Hi,

Sounds like one of the recipients of the meeting, whether that be a resource or a user has an invalid mail: attribute or perhaps the user is forwarding to another address at that is invalid.

You will need to investigate further into the actual address the email was destined for and track down which of the recipients this may correspond to.

Without actually providing the full postmaster delivery notification message (including all headers) there isn't much more I can offer - please note that this may not be appropriate to include in the forum so perhaps you should raise a sun support request.

Regards,

Shane.

Hi,

The problem is very subtle. The address you are attempting to send to is built up of the users mailhost: attribute (the user being the account which has the mail: attribute of demo2@spanservices.com) and their address:

@lavnaya.spanservices.com:demo2@spanservices.com

Note that the mailhost you are attempting to send to is "lavnaya" whereas from the header information the host is actually called "lavanya" (note how the "an" characters are reversed). Messaging server tried delivering to this invalid mailhost and it was unable to resolve the IP address - so the email bounced.

If you correct the mailhost: attribute for demo2 user this problem should be fixed. You may also want to work out how this user managed to get provisioned with the incorrect mailhost: attribute - if you used the DA GUI you may have incorrectly set a default mailhost: for the domain so this problem could also be occurring for other users.

Regards,

Shane.
