Error 550 5.1.1 When inviting a resource using Outlook connector

Question

We are get Undeliverable bounce back message when we invite resources to meetings in Outlook.
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject:     Test From Outlook
Sent:     1/15/2008 4:24 PM
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
Test Resource on 1/15/2008 4:24 PM
The Sun SMTP Transport service failed to deliver the message to this recipient on server server.domain.com for the following reason: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]
But the meeting gets added to the resource calendar. We did not have this problem when we were testing but now that we have gone live it is annoying our users.
When resources are invited to meetings in UWC we do not get the SMTP error.
We are running Messaging server 6.3, Calendar Server 6.3, and Outlook connector 7.2.4
Thanks
Josh

When you invite a resource with Outlook Connector, an email is sent to the value of the "mail:" attribute for the resource as well as having the event added to the resource calendar directly via WCAP. This is an MS Outlook specific behaviour.
Refer to the following link on how to have these emails automatically discarded by using a 'bitbucket' channel address:

When resources are invited to meetings in UWC we do not get the SMTP error. UWC doesn't send an email to the "mail:" address.
