XADM: Information Store Stops Unexpectedly Writing to Message Tracking Log Because of NULL Address

Article ID: 256315

Article Last Modified on 10/26/2006



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q256315


SYMPTOMS

During normal operation of the Exchange Server information store (Store.exe), if a non-delivery report (NDR) is returned that has a blank e-mail address and message tracking enabled, the Exchange Server information store service may stop unexpectedly with an access violation when it tries to write the message details to the tracking logs. If the correct Microsoft Windows NT and Exchange Server debug symbols are installed, the resulting Dr. Watson log may contain a stack dump that is similar to the following:

0232fc4c  00412074  STORE!CchStrlenW
0232fc60  00600c15  STORE!CchStrlen+0x88
0232fd90  004fcef1  STORE!EcGenerateGWNDR+0xbc3
0232ffa0  004dfd21  STORE!FStartTransferOut+0xd00
                    

CAUSE

This issue can occur if the Exchange Server information store erroneously handled the NULL value for the NDR e-mail address when the Exchange Server information store attempted to write the message details to the tracking logs. This causes the Exchange Server information store to try to access invalid memory.
