XCON: DRAS Connection Is Established and Dropped Immediately

ID: Q185455

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 (without the spaces):
