Last reviewed: July 17, 1997
Article ID: Q147022

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA) may fail to deliver the message contents when sending a message across an X400 connector configured to use ISO 6937 body parts.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem was introduced in version 995.50 of the MTA. This problem is independent of the type of X400 MTA that receives the message that originates from Microsoft Exchange. Messages will be delivered successfully to the intended recipients but the message body will be missing.

This problem will only occur when using MTA builds 995.50, 995.51, 995.52, and 995.53 when an X400 connector is configured as follows:

   General Tab
   -----------
   Remote Clients Support MAPI is not checked

   Advanced Tab
   ------------
   ISO 6937 Body Part is checked
   Allow MS Exchange Contents is not checked
