SYMPTOMS
Attachments received via an X.400 connector that originate from an Isocor MTA arrive without any indication of the original attachment name.

CAUSE
Isocor X.400 systems attach additional information when transferring attachments to track attachment names (attachment manifests). Prior to Exchange Server 5.0, this additional information arrived as a text attachment detailing attachment names. However, Exchange Server 5.0 and 5.5 incorrectly interprets this information to try to re-build the attachment with a name. As a result, the attachment name is no longer available.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange Server versions 5.0.

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5.
