Important This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry SUMMARYWhen you send Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) mail
(mail that is not from a MAPI source) to a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server or
a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 server public folder,
the message class is IPM.Post. In Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, the message
class of a message that is sent to a public folder is IPM.Note. Because of
this, if you have a message archiving system where the e-mail messages must be
completely stored and not changed or converted, you may not be able to archive
messages from the public folder. This article describes an update that you can
use to configure the setting of the PR_MESSAGE_CLASS attribute of SMTP messages
that are sent to public folders to IPM.Note instead of IPM.Post. For detailed information about how to have incoming SMTP messages that are bound for public folders marked as IPM.Note in Exchange 2000 Server, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article: 830961 Embedded e-mail messages appear as IPM.Post after you configure incoming SMTP messages as IPM.Note in Exchange 2000 Server
Note The hotfix for the issue that is described in KB article 830961 is provided in KB article 827555.

Exchange Server 2003To resolve this issue in Exchange 2003, install Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). To obtain Exchange Server 2003 SP1, visit the following Microsoft Web site: Configuring the new setting The following information applies to both Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003. Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.After you install this update, incoming
messages to public folders can have their message class changed to IPM.Note
instead of IPM.Post. You can configure this new setting by creating the
Incoming registry value
in the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<ServerName>\Public-<GUID> Value name: Incoming defaults to
IPM.NoteValue type: DWORDValue data:
0 or 1 0 (zero) is default (0=false). The default
behavior without the registry key is that incoming messages appear as IPM.Post.
If you set the registry key with a value of 0 (zero), the
result behavior is the same as the default behavior, and incoming messages
appear as IPM.Post. If you set the registry key with a value of
1 (one), the behavior changes, and new SMTP mail messages from
a non-MAPI source appear as IPM.Note. Important To enable this functionality you must configure these registry
settings on all Exchange servers that host public folders. You do not have to
configure these registry settings on Exchange servers that do not host public
folders. Additionally, you must configure these registry settings for each
public folder database on the particular server where you want to enable this
functionality. After you make these registry changes, you must
restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service to enable this new
functionality.
