XCON: Messages Sent w/AppleSingle File Attachments Get Stuck

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

There are two symptoms caused by the same problem; the symptom you see depends on how the message is sent from the Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client.

Messages sent with an AppleSingle file attachment and no other text get stuck in the IMC Outbound Delivery Queue. The sender does not receive a non- delivery receipt (NDR).

Messages sent with an AppleSingle file attachment without a resource fork, such as a text file created with the Teach Text application, generate the following error message:

Event ID: 4081
Source: MSExchangeIMC
Type: Error
Category: SMTP Interface
Description: Message could not be processed

CAUSE

The Internet Mail Connector (IMC) omits one carriage return/line feed sequence (CRLF).

STATUS
