XFOR: IMC May Cause WorldTalk SMTP/MIME Gateway to Stop (152921)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q152921 SYMPTOMS
The WorldTalk SMTP/MIME gateway stops responding.
CAUSE
Messages sent from the Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector
(IMC) may cause the Worldtalk SMTP/MIME Gateway to stop responding. The IMC
in some cases generates a multipart message with a null content-type
header.
The WorldTalk SMTP/MIME Gateway can receive mail successfully if the header
is not present at all, or if the header is as follows:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Note that the first bodypart in the message outbound from Microsoft
Exchange does have the correct content-type.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the
following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
The WorldTalk gateway is manufactured by World Communications, a vendor
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
regarding this product's performance or reliability.
