SYMPTOMS
If incoming SMTP messages include multiple Resent headers, replies from Microsoft Exchange Server recipients might go to an incorrect recipient.



CAUSE
The Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC) will use the oldest information in the Resent headers to place in the From field.



MORE INFORMATION
Multiple "Resent" headers in an incoming SMTP message might look like:
