SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Exchange Server MTA may raise an exception error on X.25
connections. Specifically, a RaiseException() may occur in the X.25 DMOD in
the MTA.
CAUSE
RaiseException()is called from the MTA code when it receives an X.25 result
for an X.25 control block (CB) that no longer exists. This condition should
be handled by the MTA rather than causing the MTA to stop. The error
handling was changed to remove the RaiseException() and add in a
DebugBreak() for the debug build (in Ntil\Cc\Sbpdeccb.c).
The change allows the MTA to obtain more information the next time it
happens with the debug build, and still does not stop normal running of
retail builds.
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
