SUMMARY

The Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC) service stops running and messages are stuck in the IMC OUT queue.

MORE INFORMATION

Messages that have two attachments with the same name, when the attachment names are either "" or beginning with '.', can cause the IMC to crash. This kills the thread and causes the message to get stuck in the IMC OUT queue.
