Resolution

Additional Information
Mail corruption may also happen because of network problems. During the transmittal of a mail message, network problems may cause corrupted packets of information, which in turn may corrupt the mail database. If you repeatedly have problems with corruption and are unable to find anything wrong with the Domino server environment, begin investigating potential network problems, such as malfunctioning network cards or buggy network drivers. Server problems, such as low memory or the server running out of memory during mail transmittal, may also cause corruption.
