| Description | An error was returned from the messaging software, the Internet Mail Service uses, to process messages on the Microsoft Exchange Server. It is possible that the piece of mail being processed at the time will not be delivered. The message that was being processed has been moved to the "BAD" folder. Use the appropriate utilities found in the SUPPORT directory of your Exchange CD to view and manipulate these messages. |
| Event Information | When you start the Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Service , these events(4018, 4116) may appear in the application event log. CAUSE: A possible cause of these errors is that the Exchange service account lacks the proper access rights to the Winnt\System32 (%System Root%\System32) directory. The service account must have change rights to this directory to be able to modify the Mapisvc.inf file located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory. WORKAROUND: To work around this problem, give the service account at least change rights to the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory. |
