- Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.5, 5.5 SP1

SYMPTOMS
========

When you create a newsfeed in the Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Administrator
program, the program may terminate unexpectedly after you import an active file
from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). A progress dialogue will appear briefly
and then the Exchange Server Administrator program will terminate. No events are
logged or crash dumps produced.

CAUSE
=====

The active file contains a list of all newsgroups that the ISP will be supplying
through this newsfeed. If the name of one of these newsgroups exceeds 578
characters, then this problem will occur.

RESOLUTION
==========

version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
