SYMPTOMS

When you check the Internet headers on a message that originates from an Exchange Server computer, you may notice that the originating server name in the Message-ID section is corrupted. For example, the following text is displayed in the Message-ID section:

Message-ID: <C1F8B064AA7BD111A78E006097AC94A13649AB@GUIS       RV02>

However, you expect the following text to be displayed:

Message-ID: <C1F8B064AA7BD111A78E006097AC94A13649AB@GUISRV02>
.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, reinstall the TCP/IP stack on the originating Exchange Server computer, and then reapply the current Microsoft Windows NT service pack.

MORE INFORMATION
