Hidden mail contacts resolving in OWA (2007, SP3)
We have mail contacts hidden from GAL with external email addresses (gmail, hotmail etc). In OWA, when searched in address book, users get no hits for these mail contacts which is as expected since they have been filtered out. When an email address of mail contact entered into "TO" and then clicked on "check names", OWA is, however, resolving it, and the name of this mail-contact gets appended to "TO" header. Any idea how to fix this? or anyone having the same issue? Thank you.

Sounds like a cached entry or the user has the address in their own contacts . Try it from a mailbox that has never sent a message to one of the hidden contacts.

Thanks AndyD. It did not work. I logged into OWA with an account that has never been used for this, and it resolves the name of hidden mail contact when "check names" clicked.

Hi bt07, I can reproduce this issue in my lab, and I have sent discussion email to our internal discussion group. Once I got a response, I will update the post. I tested in Outlook 2007 and OWA (Exchange 2010): Outlook 2007 and OWA (Exchange 2010) did not have this issue.
