XFOR: MIME and UUENCODED Messages Cause Store Conversion Error (166580)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q166580 SYMPTOMS
A message sent from an Internet Mail client to a computer running Microsoft
Exchange Server may cause the information store (IS) to generate a
conversion error and return the message with a non-delivery report (NDR).
It may also cause the IS service to terminate.
CAUSE
This problem can occur when a message received by the IS from the IMAIL
client is using a foreign character set in the message that is also
supported by an installed code page on the Microsoft Exchange Server.
The message comes in, and Microsoft Exchange Server calls upon a conversion
routine to change the message to MDBEF format. When the conversion routine
runs, it checks to see the installed code pages on the server and
incorrectly uses one that matches the client.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
