PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange
PROD/VER:winnt:4.0,5.0,5.5
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:exc4 exc5 exc55

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.5, 4.0, 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The application event log contains several warning events from MSExchangeMTA
Field Engineering beginning with a 2219 event, followed by several 2206 events,
and eventually ending with a 2207 event.

MORE INFORMATION
================

These events simply indicate that the message transfer agent (MTA) is running an
automatic MTACHECK because the MTA determined that it did not shut down cleanly
the last time it stopped. The MTA will automatically log the results to the
\Exchsrvr\Mtadata\Mtacheck.out\Mtacheck.log file.

The automatic MTACHECK will delay MTA startup.
