XFOR: Rule Containing Multiple Clauses Only Functions Properly Once (194228)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
- Microsoft Commercial Internet System 2.0
This article was previously published under Q194228 SYMPTOMS
When you create a rule for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
service that contains multiple clauses, the rule may function properly the
first time the server receives a message to which the rule applies;
however, the rule does not function properly when the server receives
additional messages to which the rule applies.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the server modifies the rule the first time it
receives a message to which the rule applies. The server may replace the
semicolon (;) that separates the clauses with a colon (:), which prevents
the rule from functioning properly.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the

Internet System version 2.0.
This problem was first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 4.MORE INFORMATION
When you create a rule for the SMTP service that contains multiple
clauses, the individual clauses are separated by a semicolon. If any of

taken.
