AFNET Migration Update
As the Air Force continues to migrate network users into the AF Network there has been a significant rise in duplicate email addresses and misrouted messages. Named after the AF email format known as "X.500," this issue is best understood by thinking of two adjacent towns merging together and the possibility that each town had streets sharing a common name.
It's reasonable to assume each town had a "Main" Street and after merging now have two "Main" Streets." Now consider the confusion this causes the Post Office in determining the "correct" 123 Main Street address.
Fortunately, a fix is being implemented to resolve the X.500 issue automatically. Once pushed by the Network Operations Squadron (either 561st NOS or 83rd NOS), affected users will receive a "Pop-Up" notification and be asked to acknowledge by clicking "YES" on the pop-up. Then, executed scripts will run in the background and require no additional user input. If you have problems sending email to users and get rejections, please follow the guidance in the following link.
