As far as i know it's still an issue with Exchange, if the hostname has
spaces in it, exchange want's to be cluefull, and sets an underscore
instead of the space, but exchange is not clueful enough to recognize
that an underscore is invalid too ;)
So the real problem is the admin, who sets spaces in the hostname.
