Article: Q185455
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): WinNT: 5.5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 11-APR-1999

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

The Dynamic RAS connector no longer delivers messages after a few successful
deliveries.

CAUSE
=====

The Microsoft Exchange message transfer agent (MTA) is unable to form a session
with the remote MTA because data in the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) stack
has been reordered. This is due to the slow nature of RAS.

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 about obtaining the
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
