The address rewrite agent does not rewrite the address for Out of Office (OOF) messages in Exchange Server 2007

Article ID:949193
Last Review:May 8, 2008
Revision:1.0

SYMPTOMS

The address rewrite agent on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 edge server is configured to rewrite the domain addresses of certain e-mail messages. Although the address rewrite agent works for most messages, it does not rewrite the address for Out of Office (OOF) messages.

For example, assume that you use the following rewrite command:
New-AddressRewriteEntry "TestOOF" -InternalAddress "fourthcoffee.com" -ExternalAddress "Contoso.com"
In this case, standard outgoing messages show the “@Contoso.com” sender domain. However, the addresses for OOF messages are not rewritten. These addresses continue to use the “@fourthcoffee.com” domain.
