The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q198581

SYMPTOMS

The information store fails (crashes) during a non-delivery report (NDR) to an address that has invalid attributes.

CAUSE

This crash is caused by an NDR that is normally not seen. The reason for the NDR is that invalid attributes of the Address are passed into the information store for conversion to Unicode, Multibyte, or ASCII. The actual return address was NULL.

Below is the stack trace of the crash.
