SYMPTOMS
The system attendant service (Mad.exe) may cause high CPU use if the address list filtering string's pattern is similar to following nested Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) filter format:
(&(&(&(&(...)))) or (|(|(|(|(..))))
CAUSE
This problem can occur because this address list filtering pattern causes the Recipient Update Service to go into an exponential memory and CPU cycle while the Recipient Update Service parses the text filters into an internal data structure.
