XFOR: SNADS Connector Displays Error Because of Incoming SMTP Message (196304)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q196304 SYMPTOMS
The SNADS Connector may experience a crash in its LME-SNADS-MEXDIA process,
resulting in a stopped process or a Dr. Watson error message. The message
flow outbound to the host will be stopped at this point in time.
CAUSE
The SNADS connector received an SMTP message with an unexpected character
in the Sender name for its P2 header. For example,
postmaster%g%s@commpany.com.
This results in the stopping of the LME-SNADS-MEXDIA process on the
connector.
RESOLUTION
The next release of the SNADS connector, included in the latest service
pack, correctly parses the Sender name field in the P2 header, and no
longer stops the LME-SNADS-MEXDIA process. To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, remove the offending message from the SNADS
queue - Outbound from Exchange Server.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange Server version
5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3.
