SYMPTOMS

Store.exe produces a Dr. Watson error when certain Internet Mail messages are received by the information store.

CAUSE

This behavior is caused when the information store is attempting to convert a message containing a UNICODE file name without an extension. As a result, a NULL pointer is referenced, which causes Store.exe to fault.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0.

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next service pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.

This fix has been posted to the following Internet location:

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/exchange/exchange-public/fixes/Eng/Exchg5.0/Post-SP2-STORE/

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION

There is no way of preventing messages of this type from entering the information store for conversion; therefore, the fix allows the store to better handle messages that reference NULL pointers.
