SYMPTOMS

When sending a message from a Microsoft Mail for Windows user through the
Microsoft Exchange Server MS Mail Connector to a user on X.400, the following
error message may be logged in the Windows NT Event Log:

  message NMI0210: X.400 Service Event, severity 14

      (MTA DISP:FANOUT(15) Proc 112) 01-25-97 02:16:17pm

       New content type 56010A01

The following is the routing of the message:
