SYMPTOMS

When users from Quikcomm send a message with one or more attachments to Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 users by way of the Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service, the message comes through as an attachment.

When the message enters the Microsoft Exchange environment, the following error message appears:

The Microsoft Exchange Server received an Internet message that could
not be processed.
To view the original message content, open the attached message.
<Message.txt>

Message.txt contains the actual message and the attachment as uuencoded.
