SYMPTOMS
In a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 environment, you may experience faulty per-recipient processing in Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) event sinks. For example, Microsoft Exchange Server may incorrectly stamp per-recipient properties, and this may adversely affect mail handling. Additionally, you may notice that an RCPT TO command with customized arguments is unexpectedly rejected.



CAUSE
The faulty per-recipient processing in SMTP event sinks that is described in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section occurs when the QueryCurrentRecipientIndex method returns an incorrect recipient index. And the RCPT TO command with customized arguments is rejected when delivery status notifications are not advertised as expected.
