Product Version	14.0 (Exchange 2010)
Event ID	1025

Alert Type	Warning
Rule Path	Microsoft Exchange Server/Exchange 2010/Common Components/Hub Transport and Edge Transport/Transport
Rule Name	SMTP rejected a mail because the Active Directory lookup for the sender address returned validation errors.

Explanation

This Error event indicates a problem validating the e-mail address of a sender that was using "Send as" permission to send a message. The Active Directory directory service lookup for the address of the sender returned the specified validation errors.

The "Send as" permission allows recipients to send e-mail messages as if the message originated from a different recipient. Specifically, recipients who are granted the "Send as" permission to any mail-enabled object can enter the other recipient's name in the From field for the messages that they send.

For example, assume that Michelle has been granted "Send as" permissions for the mailbox of her manager, Laura. Michelle sends a message to Julia that has Laura's name in the From field. When Julia receives the message, the message appears to be sent by Laura.

For more information, see: Manage Send As Permissions for a Mailbox.

User Action

To resolve this error, do one or more of the following:

Make sure that the Exchange server that logged this event can communicate with one or more Active Directory servers that are available in the organization.
Verify that the specified recipient has the "Send as" permission granted to the specified mail-enabled object.
