XFOR: IMS: Quote Character In Quoted String (160156)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Commercial Internet System 1.0

This article was previously published under Q160156

SYMPTOMS

When using SMTP, the quote character in a quoted string is not part of the quoted string. For example, here are two scenarios detailing this symptom:

Scenario 1

A mail message from

<joe \smith"@dm>

will erroneously return

250 "joe smith"@dm....Sender OK

because a quote-character (\) within a quoted string is not treated as part of it.

Scenario 2

A mail message from

<joe \\smith"@dm>

will erroneously return

250 "joe \smith"@dm....Sender OK

because a quote-character (\) that is to be part of a quoted string must be preceded by a quote-character (\).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
