Access Violation When Inetinfo Receives Mail That Contains a Header of More Than 64 KB (815425)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
  • Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Service (SMTPSvc) component receives a mail message that contains a header of more than 64 kilobytes (KB), this may generate an access violation.

CAUSE

If the size of a mail header is more than about 64 KB, SMTPSvc shuts down incorrectly because it does not synchronize threads. Because SMTPSvc works as a part of Internet Information Services (IIS), the access violation occurs in the Inetinfo.exe file.
