SUMMARY
When starting the IMC you may receive a 2140 error. If you look in the application event log you may also see event 4074 with MSExchangeIMC as the source. The text of event 4074 reads as follows:

Unable to start the Internet Mail Connector because the routing table could not be read. Wait a few minutes to allow any routing table updates to complete and then try to start it again. If this problem persists, check the configuration on the Connections and Address Space pages of the Internet Mail Connector properties.



MORE INFORMATION
The most likely cause of this error is that there is a value other than SMTP in the Address Type field on the Internet Mail tab of the IMC properties.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:  Change the Address Type field on the Internet Mail tab of the IMC properties to SMTP.

-or-

 Add a proxy address of desired type.

-or-

 Remove any SMTP address type entered on the Address Tab of the Internet Mail Connector properties.

-or-

 Modify a key in the registry, according to the following steps:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor can cause serious, system-wide errors that may require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

 Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).  Under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:

<pre class="fixed_text">     SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIMC\Parameters </li> Add the value SiteDomain to this key. Make the data type REG_SZ, and make the string the address type you want to use.</li></ol>

For more information on modifying this key, see section 7.3.4 in the Readme.wri on the Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 compact disc, or section 8.3.4 in the Readme.wri on the Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0a compact disc.</li></ul>
