Hello everyone,We are in the process of migrating to Exchange 2007 from a standard POP/IMAP system. A connector is configured to route outbound email from our legacy system through Exchange. One of our staff, who is still on the legacy system, reported an issue today in which they are no longer able to send email to IBM accounts. I tried my Exchange account and was also rejected with a 550, cataddr: string too long.From what I have Googled so far it soundsa possible issue with Sendmail.There was a blog entry, http://www.mmmug.co.uk/blogs/nweb/archive/2009/03/28/26631.aspx, that speaks about an option in Forefront that appears to deal with the issue. However, in our case we are not running Forefront, rather we are using Sophos PureMessage for Exchange for our anti-virus. Also, our Exchange 2007 SP1 installs are at update 6.Is there something that can be configured in Exchange to deal with this or is this strictly an issue with Sendmail? The blogger mentions that IBM was contacted and they had stated they were current on all Sendmail patches.Any help is most appreciated.

Hi James, To my knowledge, we are not experiencing this with any other domain. The user sent their message through a webmail app on the legacy system (not OWA). My test messages to the IBM accounthave been through Outlook 2007. I haven't had a chance yet, but will look through your directions for capturing a message.
