XADM: IMS/STORE Incorrectly Archives Message If ResolveP2 Is On (192583)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP1
This article was previously published under Q192583 SYMPTOMS
When the Internet Mail Service receives an inbound Internet message
from a custom recipient whose alias is ambiguous, the Internet Mail Service
fails to deliver the message. This can occur when the inbound Internet Mail
Service server has the following registry value enabled:
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/MSExchangeIMC/Parameters/ResolveP2
The message is then archived on the Internet Mail Service server. The
following event logs are generated:
NOTE: The file name will be different in each scenario and for each
message.
Event: 12004
Source: MSExchangeIS
Description: Error 80004005-F0000000 occurred while processing message
<>. The archive filename is '3SW32JRP'.
Event: 4117
Source: MSExchangeIMC
Description: An error was returned from the messaging software the
Internet Mail Service uses to process messages on the Microsoft
Exchange Server. As a result, the message in spool file 3SW32JRP failed
to be delivered. The message has been moved to the IMCDATA\IN\ARCHIVE
directory.
CAUSE
When two sites have an identical custom recipient, directory replication
between the sites creates duplicate entries in the global address list. For
example, if someone@microsoft.com exists in site X and
someone@microsoft.com exists in site Y, upon site replication between the
sites, the global address list will have two identical entries, resulting
in ambiguous names.
When the Internet Mail Service submits the message to the Microsoft
information store, and the ResolveP2 registry key is enabled, a directory
lookup on the sender is submitted to the directory service. The directory
service finds duplicate entries, and this creates an ambiguous condition
because there is more than one address that meets the criteria. This error
then is mapped as E_FAIL, resulting in the above error logs, and message is
archived in the archive directory.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
