SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA) might stop unexpectedly if a message is queued for a Site Connector immediately after the Site Connector is removed.



CAUSE
The MTA is trying to send out over a connector that no longer exists. It recovers by attempting to find an alternative route. In this case, the MTA is erroneously expecting to have information about the deleted Site Connector.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
