SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Exchange message transfer agent (MTA) may fail to deliver messages across an X.400 connector when MDBEF message transfer has been disabled. Content conversion errors will be logged in the Exchange Server computer's event log, and users will receive non-delivery reports (NDRs).

This problem will only occur with specific builds of the MTA when messages are sent over an X.400 Connector that is using metamorf conversion with MDBEF turned off. MDBEF is turned off by selecting the X.400 Connector's Advanced tab and clearing the check box for "Allow MS Exchange contents".
