Assume that you use a MAPI client such as Outlook 2003 in online mode in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment.

Additionally, the following log is logged in the Application log:

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the RPC Client Access service does not validate the recipient data before the service processes the data. Therefore, when the recipient data that is stored in an invalid format is processed, a System.ArgumentException exception occurs, and then the service crashes.
