SYMPTOMS
When Novell GroupWise clients send a zero-length attachment in a message by means of the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise, the message never arrives in Exchange Server. The API gateway reports the following error message while processing the outbound message:

In addition, a non-delivery-report (NDR) is not be generated back to the GroupWise user, so the message appears to have mysteriously disappeared.



CAUSE
The API gateway does not support zero-length attachments in a message.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange connector for Novell GroupWise due to its dependency on the API gateway.
