SYMPTOMS

Under certain circumstances, messages sent from a Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector (IMC) appear to have been sent 13 hours in the future.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0.

However, this Service Pack missed a case in which inbound non-Rich Text Format (RTF) messages will still exhibit this problem.

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.

  • The time zone setting on the server is set to "(GMT+1200) Wellington, Auckland".
  • The "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" check box is selected.
  • It is daylight saving time in the country where the IMC is located.
