SYMPTOMS
When you send a message designated for deferred delivery, the message transfer agent (MTA) may generate an error message resembling the following:
MSExchangeMTA
Event ID: 2187
MSExchangeMTA event ID: 2187
An MTA database server error was encountered while attempting to unlock
an object which is not locked. Called from MTA. Procedure XX. Object at
fault: XXXXXXXX.
CAUSE
The source object for a deferred delivery message is locked twice and then unlocked once. The first unlock leaves the object in an unlocked state. When a second unlock attempt is made, the error message appears.
