host resolution issue

I am working on a new install of JES 2005q4. We have 2 stores, db-prod-01 and db-prod-02. Users on db-prod-01 are working properly. db-prod-02 reports:

Address list error -- 5.2.4 alias failed to expand to any valid addresses: user@domain.edu

imsimta test -rewrite -debug user@domain.edu reports:

Hi,

1. The following entry appears to be 'broken'

dn:: ZGM9ZGItcHJvZC0wMSxkYz1vc3dlZ28sZGM9ZWR1LG89aW50ZXJuZXQg

dc: db-prod-01

description: alias for db-prod-01.domain.edu

aliasedObjectName: dc=domain,dc=edu

For some reason the dn has been base64 encoded, this is usually because when the entry was added, there was a spurious whitespace or some other non-standard character.

2. You don't create o=internet entries for the mail-hosts themselves e.g. db-prod-01.domain.edu, only for the email domains which people are going to be sending to (i.e. @domain.edu). If you need emails sent to <address>@db-prod-01.domain.edu then there will need to be some changes to your overall structure (potentially rename the mail-host). The mail-host a user resides on and the email address for the user are not related.

Cheers,

Shane.
