SYMPTOMS
An incoming Internet Mail message causes the information store to crash.
CAUSE
Messages sent over the Internet are encoded at the sending end and decoded
at the receiving end. If Base64 encoding is used and for some reason is
corrupted or improperly encoded, the decoding logic in the information
store causes an access violation, resulting in an information store crash.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
