-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

After you install a post-Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3 information store
fix that has a version later than version 5.5.2651.41 on a computer running
Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3, you cannot post a news article that has the
Followup-To property defined to a newsgroup on the server. The following error
message is displayed in Microsoft Outlook Express:

  441 posting failed

Also, if you have a newsfeed configured on the server to accept replication from
an external news server, all news articles that have the Followup-To property
defined are rejected. If you enable the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)
log, the following error message is logged in the log file:

  437 article rejected = do not try again

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur because the fix for another issue causes the type of the
PR_INTERNET_FOLLOWUP_TO property to be processed incorrectly.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5.
