SYMPTOMS
When messages are sent over an X.400 Connector (between two Exchange Server 5.5 computers), one of these messages may be missing some fields in the header when it arrives in the recipient's mailbox. When this occurs, the message is also approximately 20 bytes smaller than other messages of an equal size sent at the same time. However, the body of the message will be fine. This problem occurs only if the Allow MS Exchange Contents check box is cleared on the X.400 Connector.
