SYMPTOMS
========

When you send a message with square brackets ([ and ]) in the Subject field
through the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail, the message may not
be delivered. The message remains in the outbound message queue, which prevents
any other messages from being sent through the Connector for cc:Mail.

This problem only occurs when the Subject field contains both brackets; the
problem does not occur if the Subject field contains one bracket, but not the
other.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs when Import.exe version 8.3 is running on the Exchange
Server computer. Import.exe version 8.3 does not support brackets in the Subject
field.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
