SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, you may find that, in certain situations, memory usage in the Inetinfo.exe process unexpectedly increases. As a result of the increase in memory that is allocated to the Inetinfo.exe process, the server may stop responding.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if both the following conditions are true:
 * Mail delivery restrictions are configured on the Delivery Restrictions tab of the Simple Mail Protocol Transfer (SMTP) connector.
 * A memory leak condition occurs in Inetinfo.exe when Exchange 2000 Server processes messages that are sent across the SMTP connector.
