ID: Q190443

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When viewing the storage limit column on mailbox resources for a directory replication bridgehead server, you may see the directory service mailbox go into a "prohibit send" state.

The following events are also logged in the application event log:

   During intersite replication the directory replication agent (DRA)
   closed the connection to the mail service in response to error 80004005.

CAUSE

There is a prohibit send limit configured against the private information store. The directory service mailbox has exceeded the limit applied to the private information store.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, clear the prohibit send limit on the information store of the directory replication bridgehead server.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server versions 5.0 and 5.5.
