XFOR: Prompted to Add an Address Space When Changing Size Restrictions on a Connector (271506)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP1
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP2
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP3
This article was previously published under Q271506

SYMPTOMS

When you set or make changes to size restrictions on an Internet Mail Service that is set to Inbound Only, you may receive the following message:

You must specify at least one address on the address space property page or at least one site on the connected sites property page before the connector can be created.

WORKAROUND

Inbound only messages in the Internet Mail Service are not required to have an address space. To work around this issue, temporarily add an address space when you set your size restriction. After the changes are applied, remove the space, and then restart the Internet Mail Service.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Exchange Server 5.5.

MORE INFORMATION

When you add or make modifications to size restrictions, and you do not include an address space, all Exchange Server 5.5 connectors are affected.

The procedure to set size restrictions on the Internet Mail Service is improved in Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3 (SP3). After you install SP3 on Exchange 5.5, you are able to enter individual size restrictions for inbound and outbound messages by using the registry.
