XWEB: RecvTextA Interface for Channel Service Is Broken

 Last reviewed: January 5, 1998
Article ID: Q178386
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5
  • Microsoft Internet Chat Server, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

This problem occurs with the Chat Service. The RecvTextA interface for channel services is broken for IRC/IRCX connections. It still works with MIC. For example, you have a Channel Service that watches for profanity in messages. A RecvTextA call is made for every message sent by an MIC user, but it is not generated if the user sending the message is using either IRC or IRCX.

CAUSE

The Channel services RecVTextA() call is not called from the IRC client.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a limitation in Microsoft Internet Chat Server version 2.0 that can affect 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.
