MAILBOX may not be running Exchange or even be running, but have you tried pinging the IP address that was associated with that server? If it pings, then you may have your DNS set to resolve that IP to that NetBIOS name. If true, E2K may think that Exchange server is still up and running? I don't know, just a SWAG, since I'm not running E2K.

Shut the server down and try again." needless to say, there is no server active with that name. Strangely, there does appear to be an entry for the phantom server in the computers OU. I think it was grandfathered in due to a static mapping in the DNS server. I've removed both entries - AD and DNS, and continue to get the same error. We are on E2k SP1, and the errors that were generated in the event log are specifically: Event Type: Warning Event Source: MSExchangeMTA Event Category: X.400 Service Event ID: 201 Date: 1/7/2002 Time: 4:47:17 AM User: N/A Computer: MAILBOX Description: A loop has been detected in the message C=US;A= ;P=Juilliard;L=MAILBOX-020105031501Z-5 being transferred in.

This would be part of the normal process for removing the last 55 server in a mixed site/admin group. -----Original Message----- From: Rickenbacher Beat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 January 2002 22:35 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: AW: MTA loop Question 2: My experience is that you can stop this service without any problem on a stand-alone server with nothing on it than ExchangeServer and an AV-Product. Question 3: On 5.5 I would have suggested to edit the registry and remove the entry. But on E2K I've not looked for something similar. But it's worth a try to check the registry. In the AD you don't see a computer object for it? You're on SP1 or SP2, right? And yes any EventIDs to your error descriptions?
