We are running Exchange 2010 SP2 (v 14.2, build 247.5) in our organization. We have one exchange server and a separate AD/DNS server. We installed it from scratch (not an upgrade or migration from anything previous) late last year.

We have some users who are getting bounced emails like the following:

From: System Administrator Sent: Monday, March 19, 2012 2:35 PM Subject: Undeliverable: Website Change

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: Website Change Sent: 3/19/2012 2:35 PM

The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:

'[email protected]' on 3/19/2012 2:35 PM
None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient.

I did some digging and saw mention if corrupt autocomplete cache. So I had the affected users delete the record in the cache and type it by hand. Same thing, only with a twist. Got the bounce below:

Now, from the information above, I'm pretty sure that this is the problem:

'[email protected]' (MAILTO:[email protected]) <mailto:IMCEAMAILTO-jane%2B2Ed%2B40company-address%2B2Ecom%[email protected]> 

Why on earth is it trying to send to [email protected] ????

Thanks!

Apparently this is an issue with mailto: links in Office 2007.

Either apply KB2475888 or remove KB2344993, according to posts in this technet thread: IMCEAMAILTO issue causing "Delivery has failed ...".

To work around this issue, just have the users remove the cached contact entries from Outlook by typing the name in the "To:" field, and then click the little black cross next to the recipients/contacts that resolve to these strange IMCEAMAILTO addresses.

Input the correct email address manually, and it'll be there next time you try to send from Outlook
