SYMPTOMS
Messages sent from the Internet to the Microsoft Mail Connector (MSMI) that contain embedded messages may be rejected by the MSMI with a Non-Delivery Report (NDR).

For example, when a message is sent from Microsoft Mail for PC Networks to an unknown address on the Internet via a Microsoft Exchange Server, you will normally receive an NDR for this message. The NDR may contain the original message as embedded attachment and has to pass through the Microsoft Mail Connector. At this point, the following Event Id is generated by the MSMI:   10000 MSExchangeMSMI MDBEF parsing failed on Attachment Information.



CAUSE
The embedded message is not handled correctly by the Microsoft Mail Connector Interchange service.
