The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, versions 3.0, 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 does not successfully extract outbound mail from
.MAI files.

CAUSE
=====

When the gateway extracts a message bound for X.400, it does not check to see
that the end of any FIPS field is in the internal FIPS buffer; it only checks
the beginning. As a result, if a FIPS field starts within the buffer but ends
outside of it (and therefore is still on disk), the code decodes to the end of
the buffer and then attempts to decode whatever is in memory following the
buffer.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0 and 3.2 of
Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400. This problem is corrected in X400GATE.EXE
version 3.2.15. If you do not have version 3.2.15 (or later), you can download
X400GA.EXE, a self-extracting file, on the following services:
