SYMPTOMS
The Exchange Server 5.5 Internet Mail Service has a new feature that
prevents forwarding messages to the Internet. However, although the
Exchange Server 5.5 Internet Mail Service is used, this function does not
work when Exchange Server 5.0 exists in the organization and the Auto-
Forwarding rule is set on the Exchange Server 5.0 mailbox.
CAUSE
The information store converts messages sent by the message transfer agent
(MTA). The Exchange Server 5.0 information store does not manage the flags
that indicate a message is forwarded. Consequently, the Internet Mail
Service does not "know" that a message has been forwarded and dispatches it to
the Internet.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange Serverversion 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.
