SUMMARY

You may encounter a MSExchangeMTA Event 9221 in the Windows NT Application Log that contains a sockets error 10054 similar to the following example:

   Event ID: 9221
   Source:   MSExchangeMTA
   Type:     Warning
   Category: Operating System
                

A sockets error 10054 on a WSARecvEx() call was detected. The message transfer agent (MTA) will attempt to recover the sockets connection. Control block index: 1. [BASE IL TCP/IP DRVR 10 262] (12)

MORE INFORMATION

A 10054 socket error in this context is not an indication of a problem, but is currently known and expected behavior. It happens any time a WinSock connection is closed down (TCP/IP or TP4, whether clean or dirty). Although this event by itself may be confusing, it is not harmful.

Winsock Error code 10054 (WSAECONNRESET) indicates a "Connection reset by peer."
