SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Exchange Server information store may terminate unexpectedly while processing outbound SMTP messages. If the problem message exists in the MTS-OUT folder, the information store fails to convert the message, and terminates unexpectedly when you attempt to start the Internet Mail Service. Mdbvu32 can show the problem message remaining in the MTS-OUT folder.
CAUSE
In rich text format (RTF)-to-HTML conversion routines there are problems with the translation of hyperlinks if a message contains double-byte character set (DBCS) characters.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem temporarily, do one of the following:
- Use the Resource Kit utility, Imcsave, to remove the messages and save the contents of the MTS-OUT folder.
- Use Mdbvu32 to copy messages out of the MTS-OUT folder. Remove the first message, and try to start the Internet Mail Service.
In both cases, the information store and Internet Mail Service should work once the problem message has been removed.
