SYMPTOMS
When the Exchange Internet Mail Service is running on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based server, it can not make a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection when the remote side is another Exchange Internet Mail Service.



CAUSE
The Internet Mail Service is using the IP address of the remote computer instead of the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). The FQDN is typically the name on the certificate that must match to make a SSL connection.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 4.
