Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1.

After you apply Exchange Server 2003 SP1, you still cannot successfully send an e-mail message when the From field contains more than 255 characters. But you do receive a generic error message in the code instead of the exception error message that is described in the Symptoms section.
