SYMPTOMS
========

If you configure the Internet Mail Service on two Microsoft Exchange Server
computers to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) without authentication, you may
receive a non-delivery report (NDR) when you attempt to send mail from one
server to another through the Internet Mail Service. The text of the NDR
includes a 505 error and indicates that authentication is required for the
message to be delivered.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. For information on obtaining the Service
