Hi all
Message Labs definitely don't like that character I'm afraid. I had to change
it for someone at an old company. When they sent out to certain external
clients, if they were using Message Labs the message would be rejected. As soon
as I removed the character all was fine.
Regards,
Paul Lemonidis.

I would be interested in seeing the bounce.
RFC-2822 says that character is OK. That doesn't mean all mail systems along
a path would.

Hello all,
Running Exchange 2003 Pre SP1.
I have several users that have (for years) had an apostrophe in their
primary SMTP address, and they have had no problems. An Example would be
Chris.D'Wall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Notice the ' in the example.
All of a sudden, 5 days ago, all users with apostrophes in their SMTP
address have been unable to send external or receive external e-mails. To fix
the issue I have had to set their primary SMTP address to not include the
Apostrophe. Using the example above, the new primary would be
Chris.DWall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This would allow mail to flow from and to the users.
Now the weird part - if I leave the Chris.D'Wall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
address as an alias - external senders can now deliver mail to either address.
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks
Chris
