SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA) mishandles deferred delivery messages after the daylight saving time adjustments occur. The MTA will attempt to deliver deferred messages either an hour earlier or later than expected until all of the MTAs in the organization have been cycled. This problem is more prevalent with messages that have been deferred in Outlook using the Options button deferral method. Messages deferred through the Properties option on the File menu do not experience this problem.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

Component: MTA



WORKAROUND
All MTAs in the organization can be cycled, which will resolve this problem.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server versions 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3.
