This problem occurs because some Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) virtual servers are deleted from Exchange System Manager.
However, entries for these SMTP virtual servers still exist in the Internet
Information Services (IIS) metabase.
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
- Install IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools. For more information, click the
following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

)
The IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools
- Open IIS Metabase Explorer.
- Expand LM, and then expand
SmtpSvc.
- Expand 1.
Note There are two items that are listed under
SmtpSvc. If you expand the other item, you can see valid
domain names. This result indicates that 1 is a stale entry
and that it can be deleted. - Right-click 1, and then click
Delete.
- Restart the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol service and the
Microsoft Routing Engine service.
