XFOR: SMTP Mail Backing Up in MTA Queue, Events 9297 and 3161 Appear
This article was previously published under Q247787
When you are administering Microsoft Exchange Server, you may discover that Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) mail is sitting in the Message Transfer Agent (MTA) queue rather than going out through the Internet Mail Service (IMS). The following events may appear in the Event Viewer:
Event ID: 9297
Source: MSExchangeMTA
Description: The user /o=ORGanization /ou=SITE1 /cn=Configuration /cn=Servers /cn=SERVER1 /cn=Microsoft Private MDB has caused a security violation. Locality table (LTAB) index: 5. Windows NT error code: 0. [BASE IL MAIN BASE 1 237] (14)
Event ID: 3161
Source: MSExchangeMTA
Description: An internal MTA error occurred. The logon violated security. Entity name: . Error code: 0. [XAPI MAIN BASE 1 92] (14)
To resolve this issue, make sure that the Permissions pages for the organization, site, and configuration objects list the service account with the Service Account Admin role:
- Make sure that the Permissions page and the rights and roles are
displayed in Exchange Administrator:
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click to select the Show Permissions page for all
objects check box.
- Click to select the Display rights for roles on
Permissions page check box.
- Click the organization object, and then click Properties on
the File menu.
- Click the Permissions tab, add the service account, and
then click Service Account Admin from the Role
box.
- Click the site object, and then click Properties on the
File menu.
- Click the Permissions tab, add the service account, and
then click Service Account Admin from the Role
box.
- Click the configuration object, and then click Properties
on the File menu.
- Click the Permissions tab, add the service account, and
then click Service Account Admin from the Role
box.
- Stop and then restart IMS and MTA services.
- Send an Internet-bound e-mail to verify that the IMS is working
properly.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
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.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
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
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
