SYMPTOMS

When you work offline and send a message to a recipient selected from the Offline Address Book, you may receive a systematic Non Delivery Report for a specific recipient:

   No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient

CAUSE

Duplicate alias names cannot occur inside an Exchange Server site; however, they can occur inside an Exchange Server organization, causing the NDR above.
