TITLE   :XFOR: Starting Internet Mail Service, Store Causes Stack Fault
PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange
PROD/VER:winnt:5.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:

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

 - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS
========

When you start the Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Service, Store.exe
causes a stack fault, halting store-related activities.

CAUSE
=====

Multiple cascading embedded messages processed through a recursion routine is
not limiting the number of recursions, which causes a stack overflow.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service
Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the
