 Last reviewed: February 12, 1998
Article ID: Q178378
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Service does not send a non- delivery report (NDR) on a message it has passed from a custom routing .Dll file with DISP_NDR_ORIG. The message may be delivered to the mailbox and the following event ID recorded: 

   Event id 2078 from MSExchangeIS Private
   Category: Transfer Out Of Gateway
   Description: Unable to submit, send or transfer out a message. Check
   PR_DELIVERY_TIME, PR_NDR_REASON, PR_NON_DELIVERY_DIAGNOSTIC.

CAUSE

The Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Service will attempt to resolve the name and deliver the message if a valid address is available in the message. If the address in the recipient list is not valid, the message transfer agent (MTA) will send an NDR. If the address is resolved, then the MTA will attempt to deliver the message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0.

This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
