RE: OutlookXP and Exchange 5.5
Don't discard the network idea without checking it thoroughly - I run OXP on WinXP, connect to an Exch. 5.5 SP4 server, and get that message from time to time only when I connect from home via ADSL and VPN. I've seen it momentarily a few times at the office getting data from another server on the far side of the WAN, usually those times can be fairly easily correlated to times of network congestion.

Error Event ID 12800 and 4182
We have a problem with our Exchange server that's happened now twice in the last month - we discover that the Exchange server has quit and the cluster failed over to the other server. In checking the event log we find to ID's - 12800 and 4182 just before both failure's, and a search of KB brings up Q193782: CAUSE The Internet Mail Service submits a message to the information store, which in turn parses the addresses to get the corresponding display names. It detects the corrupted address and generates MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED, but later this error is overwritten as MAPI_E_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY. The information store logs an Event ID: 12800, and the error is returned to the Internet Mail Service. The Internet Mail Service detects this as a serious error and logs an Event ID: 4182, shutting itself down. RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. Unfortunately we are running SP4 (checked and confirmed on both servers) and so can't figure out where to go from here. The article further states: MORE INFORMATION When a message containing one-off addresses goes through several connectors, it is encapsulated to its native format. For example, when the SMTP address [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes through an X.400 Connector, it is encapsulated as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTE: The above address is one string; it has been wrapped for readability. Further, the container name is encapsulated as follows: Any non- alphanumeric characters (with the exception of =, -, and /) are encoded as +xx (without quotation marks), where xx is hexadecimal digit of that character. So : is encapsulated as +3b, where 3b is the ASCII representation of :. The fix is to correct the code that overwrites the error. Which sounds to me like MS expects us to fix their code so that it doesn't overwrite the error. Has anyone else seen this and found a fix? Particulars: Exchange 5.5, SP4 WIN2K Adv.

RE: Error Event ID 12800 and 4182
I may be mistaken here, but at least with the cluster in place we're down for only a minute until the failover kicks in. Are you suggesting the cluster is the cause of the problem? If so, why?

RE: Error Event ID 12800 and 4182
IMS sends a message to the IS, which parses it, then crashes due to a corrupt address, shutting down Exchange, which triggers the cluster to fail-over, and you think the failover is unnecessary? Enlighten me please, I'm missing something here, how is this a cluster issue at all, if the cluster weren't present we'd be left with no Exchange server running as far as I can tell.

Yup, you're right, but that doesn't explain why Exchange stops as a result of this error. Any ideas on that?

RE: average lifespan server
Agreed, just because a machine is worthless to the bean counters doesn't it make it so in reality. I would look on the warranty side of things for critical servers. If I can no longer get 4 hour on site service, 7 days a week I can't use a machine for critical functions but it may be perfectly useful for a host of other functions even if it was spec'ed right and can still perform the function it was purchased for.

That is totally different than your previous sentence. My quad IBM Pentium Pro 1GB RAM is almost 5 years old. There is no need to replace it. Clearly if your hardware is falling short, then that needs to be documented to justify the need. Storage issues? Throughput issues? Processor cramps? Memory maxed? Perfmon logs can help here.

RE: Clustering Exchange
Interesting debate on clustering Exchange. We just put in an Exchange cluster (5.5, sp4, Win2K servers) and I'm slowing getting my feet wet with the whole thing. In was working from home today, reading the debate, when my colleague calls me and says our system just failed over (down time aprox. 1 minute). I terminalled in to the servers and discovered an application error that started the whole thing: Event ID: 12800 Description:Message processing failed because there is not enough available memory (8007000E-F2000200). And this on machines with 4 GB RAM. A check of the KB brings up article Q193782 which informs me that: CAUSE The Internet Mail Service submits a message to the information store, which in turn parses the addresses to get the corresponding display names. It detects the corrupted address and generates MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED, but later this error is overwritten as MAPI_E_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY. The information store logs an Event ID: 12800, and the error is returned to the Internet Mail Service. The Internet Mail Service detects this as a serious error and logs an Event ID: 4182, shutting itself down. Now, I'm not sure why our server was shut down, it is running SP4, and will have to investigate this further, but I must admit that I am glad that my management was willing to cluster the thing if Exchange can do this to itself.

Exchange 5.5 - POP IMAP banners?
Is it possible to change the default banners in Exchange 5.5? A search through MS turns up zip, but with Exch. 2000 there are a few solutions, including How to Modify the POP or IMAP Banner (Q303513). However, this article does state that it is for 2000 only and contains the fateful words If necessary, you can now change this banner, i.e. you couldn't before... Anyone have any ideas on this or actually done it on 5.5? Many thanks.
