 Last reviewed: April 7, 1997
Article ID: Q163376
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

You receive a nondelivery report (NDR) message if all of the following conditions are true:

  • A precomposed message with an invalid SMTP recipient is saved in the inbox.
  • This invalid message is embedded in a message with a valid SMTP recipient.
  • The valid message is sent through Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 Internet Mail Connector (IMC).

CAUSE

During the MIME content conversion, the address of embedded message is processed; thus, an NDR is generated.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, check the name of the embedded message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
