XCON: MTA Event 9221 A sockets error 10054 on a WSARecvEx() Call was Detected
This article was previously published under Q169143
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)
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."

and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
