Cause

The configuration in your messaging tool is not correct.

Example scenario:

   From: customer.email@company.com

   To: your_email@yourcompany.com (E-mail maintained as B2B channel in your system)

Your messaging tool (e.g. Outlook) resends the message to the C4C system:

   From: your_email@yourcompany.com

   To: cod.servicerequest@my12345.mail.crm.ondemand.com (This email is maintained as B2C channel in the system)

Resolution

You need to change your forwarding email configuration to B2B in the messaging tool that you use (for instance, Outlook).

Note: The configuration of customers' email application is out of the scope of SAP Cloud Support.
