SYMPTOMS
After you create an e-mail notification, the designated mailbox may not receive the notification when the status of the monitored server or connector is changed to a notifying state (warning or critical state).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.



MORE INFORMATION
To send the e-mail notification successfully, you need to turn on Anonymous Access for the default SMTP virtual server:
 * 1) Start Exchange System Manager.
 * 2) In the left-hand pane, expand the server you intend to send notification from.

 * 4) Expand SMTP.
 * 5) Right-click the Default SMTP Virtual Server object, and then click Properties.
 * 6) On the Access tab, click Authentication.

If you set the logging level for the SMTP protocol to Maximum, the following event is logged in the application log:
