SYMPTOMS
When you use Windows NT 3.51 (Build 1057) and Microsoft Mail installed on a MIPS computer with SQL 6.0 or SQL 6.5 with xp_readmail, xp_readmail will fail with an Exception: illegal instruction (0xc00001d), address: 0x7ffff000.:

xp_startmail go  xp_sendmail 'testuser', @message='select * from authors', @dbuse='pubs' go  exec xp_readmail go



WORKAROUND
  Set up sp_processmail as a scheduled task running recurring every minute as the following:

sp_processmail @subject='SQL', @filetype='TXT', @separator=' ', @dbuse='pubs'  Send mail to testuser (the account that SQL Server is running under and the account that was setup to start mail) with the subject 'SQL' and in the message 'select * from authors'.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.0 and 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
