Still Having WSS Email Workflow Problems

I posted a while back about a problem I was having with my WSS workflow’s not working when I used an email to initiate them

I’ve been looking at it on and off since then and I’m still getting nowhere

I can confirm that other automatic workflows fire ok. The problem is to do with receiving emails

Interestingly I found a post on the MSDN Forums that describes exactly the problem I’m having

The author (J.Amen) managed to prove it was the service pack by creating two virtual machines with identical setups expect one system had SP1 and one didn’t

The thread then goes on to say Microsoft have been looking at it and it has “officially been verified as a bug” (that was on the 25th Feb 2008) and the thread is then filled up with lots “is the hotfix available” questions

I think I’ll perform the same experiment over the weekend with two different setups just for my own piece of mind

The problem I have now is that I don’t know if the MSDN thread is correct and I’ve got to wait for a hotfix or is there still something I need to do to my configuration

I wish I knew either way!

UPDATE:

Found another thread that confirms the same thing

Some very angry developers on the thread
