MORE INFORMATION

X.400 Service 

   X.400 protocol events, such as submission and delivery reports.
Resource 
   Events related to the use of MTA resources.
Security 
   Events related to attempted security violations.
Interface 
   Communication among MTA components, between MTAs and between the MTA and
   XAPI clients such as the store, MSMI, and DXA. This includes RPC use.
Field Engineering 
   Internal debugging trace.
MTA Administration 
   Administration program access to MTA queues and routing information.
Configuration 
   The configuration of internal parameters and/or problems in one or more
   MTA configuration files.
Directory Access 
   Events related to the MTA's use of the directory.
Operating System 
   Events related to the MTA's use of  Windows NT functions, such as thread
   creation and file operations.
Internal Processing 
   Events related to the internal operation of MTA application code. Error
   events in this category indicate serious problem in the MTA.
Interoperability 
   Tracks the binary content of protocol messages. Use this category and
   Interface to log stack traces and XAPI traces to MTADATA\AP*.LOG.
   NOTE: No additional events are logged to the application or EV*.LOGs
   when logging is turned up on this category.
APDU (Application Protocol Data Unit) 
   Tracks full P1 content (MTA send/receive) and fully encoded P1 APDU
   (communication between remote MTAs) to diagnose interoperability or
   conformance problems. Use this category and X.400 Service to log binary
   data to MTADATA\BF*.LOG.
   NOTE: No additional events are logged to the application or EV*.LOGs
   when logging is turned up on this category.
EV*.LOGs are text event logs. You can enable these logs by updating the following registry key: 

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeMTA
                     \Parameters\TextEventLogging
to a value of 1.
