XFOR: Cannot Send Message with Brackets in Subject Field Through Connector for cc:Mail (234350)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q234350

SYMPTOMS

When you send a message with square brackets ([ and ]) in the Subject field through the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail, the message may not be delivered. The message remains in the outbound message queue, which prevents any other messages from being sent through the Connector for cc:Mail.

This problem only occurs when the Subject field contains both brackets; the problem does not occur if the Subject field contains one bracket, but not the other.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when Import.exe version 8.3 is running on the Exchange Server computer. Import.exe version 8.3 does not support brackets in the Subject field.
