XFOR: Non-Delivery Report When Using SSL Without Authentication

Last reviewed: February 24, 1998
Article ID: Q181481

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

If you configure the Internet Mail Service on two Microsoft Exchange Server computers to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) without authentication, you may receive a non-delivery report (NDR) when you attempt to send mail from one server to another through the Internet Mail Service. The text of the NDR includes a 505 error and indicates that authentication is required for the message to be delivered.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
