SYMPTOMS

When you try to view the details of an address chosen from the Global Address List (GAL), and you are connected to the postoffice (PO) database over a local area network (LAN), you may get the following error message:

Address is no longer valid. User or PO no longer exists.

CAUSE

Only external postoffice addresses in the GAL containing extended ASCII characters in their friendly name will exhibit the above symptom.

Notes:

You will be able to view details of this friendly name in the individual PO list.
You can view details of local PO members containing extended ASCII characters in their friendly names from the GAL without getting the above error.
