The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q279320 SYMPTOMS
Messages that are put in the Internet Mail Service Pickup folder for delivery may be moved to the Pickup\Archive folder. These same messages may then be moved back to the Pickup folder, and be delivered.
The Internet Mail Service generates the following Event log entry when this occurs.
Event ID 4164
Source: MSExchangeIMC
Description:
The file <filename> in the Pickup directory could not be parsed to get the originator and recipients due to error 0x80004005. It either contains no recipients, or it is not a valid 822 message. It will be moved to the Archive directory.
CAUSE
The Internet Mail Service may not acquire the correct size of the file that it is attempting to process. Therefore, the Internet Mail Service behaves as if there is not enough data in the file to make delivery.
