SYMPTOMS
You configure a document library in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services to allow e-mail insertion. A user sends an e-mail message that contains an attached document to the public folder in Microsoft Exchange. You expect the attached document to be added to the e-mail-enabled document library in Windows SharePoint Services. However, the attached document is not added to the e-mail-enabled document library. Additionally, you experience the following symptoms:  The owner of the public folder receives an e-mail message that contains the following error message:

There was an error processing one or more attachments

The subject line in the Subject box of the e-mail message is the same subject line of the original e-mail message that the user sent. An entry that is similar to the following is generated by the Microsoft SharePoint Timer Service (Owstimer.exe) in the log file:

0   5984 SharePoint Timer Service for E-Mail Enabled Document Libraries : Object Not Found : 

 If you take a network trace, you see that the NexTags log file contains an entry that is similar to the following:

&quot;HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable&quot;: X-MS-ENUMATTS http:// /exchange/ /Inbox/ .EML HTTP/1.1





CAUSE
This issue occurs if the UrlScan security tool is running on the Exchange computer, and the UrlScan security tool blocks the X-MS-ENUMATTS verb.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, modify the Urlscan.ini file so that the UrlScan security tool allows the X-MS-ENUMATTS verb. To do this, follow these steps:  Start Notepad, and then open the Urlscan.ini file.

Note The Urlscan.ini file is located in the following folder:

%Windir%\System32\Inetsrv\Urlscan

 Locate the [AllowVerbs] section of the file. The [AllowVerbs] section looks similar to the following:

'''[AllowVerbs]




 * The verbs (aka HTTP methods) listed here are those commonly ; processed by a typical IIS server.




 * Note that these entries are effective if &quot;UseAllowVerbs=1&quot; is set in the [Options] section above.

When you link a document library in Windows SharePoint Services with a public folder that is stored in Exchange, documents that are attached to e-mail messages in the public folder can be automatically inserted into the document library.
