SYMPTOMS
A Microsoft Exchange Server MS Mail Connector MTA configured for NetBIOS
notification will fail to respond to incoming NetBIOS datagrams. These
datagrams are sent from NetBIOS configured MS Mail clients when urgent mail
messages are sent to recipients on external postoffices.
The MS Mail Connector MTA is designed to respond to these datagrams and
alter its normal cycle so that mail is picked up from the sender's
postoffice. Currently, the MS Mail Connector MTA continues to process mail
in the normal fashion according the normal timing schedule.
CAUSE
The MTA fails to receive the datagrams because it is not properly
registering to receive the multicast directed datagrams.
WORKAROUND
Use an MS Mail external postoffice, because it correctly responds to
datagrams sent from clients. This may serve as a temporary solution until
you can obtain the fixed MS Mail Connector MTA.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
