#554 5.6.0 STOREDRV.Deliver; Corrupt message content ##rfc822; error

When using Thunderbird to send a .doc attachment the e-mail message is rejected by Exchange 2007 with the response: " #554 5.6.0 STOREDRV.Deliver; Corrupt message content ##rfc822;".

In some instances the Thunderbird mail client may send a .doc file (Word attachment) with the incorrect mime-encoding of 'application/applefile'.
Perform the following steps to resolve the problem:
  1. Close Thunderbird.
  2. Navigate to the following directory based upon your OS:
    • Windows 2000/XP: %userprofile%\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles
    • Windows Vista: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles
    • Mac OS X: \Library\Thunderbird\Profile
  3. Open the directory named with a random set of characters like "yo6luyl8.default". There may be multiple directories if you have multiple Thunderbird profiles.
  4. Delete the file named 'mimeTypes.rdf'.

  • Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR)

within

  • Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)

PowerShell: Remove RoutingGroupConnector

Remove-RoutingGroupConnector -Identity "Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)\Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR)\<RoutingGroupName>"

You remember the Exchange 2003 "Logon" View - with detailed information about the active connections ?

You will not find this in the Exchange 2007 MMC (yet) but You can use PowerShell
