XFOR: Notes Connector Access Violation During Message Conversation when Address Is 256 Bytes Long

ID: Q232076

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Exchange Notes Connector experiences an access violation during message conversation when the e-mail address is 256 bytes long.

CAUSE

The Exchange Notes Connector allocates 256 bytes for the e-mail address, which doesn't leave room for the trailing null if the address is 256 bytes long. It ends up with a longer string, which corrupts the stack. As a result, the Exchange Notes Connector stops.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
