XADM: Store.exe Crashes Converting Transport-Neutral Encapsulation Format Data

ID: Q243769

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.5, 5.5 SP3

SYMPTOMS

An access violation may occur if the Exchange Server information store service processes incoming Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) messages that contain a transport-neutral encapsulation format (TNEF) body part.

CAUSE

When the information store processes an incoming message that contains a TNEF body part and converts the message, the TNEF body part properties may contain binary data rather than Unicode.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.
