When you attempt to send mail using the Internet Mail information
service for Microsoft Exchange, you may receive a non-delivery receipt
with the following message:
No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient.

This problem can occur when the following conditions are met:
| • | The Internet Mail information service is the only information service
that is installed.
|
| • | You have configured the Internet Mail information service to connect to
your Internet service provider using a modem instead of the network.
|
| • | The Work Off-Line And Use Remote Mail check box is not selected.
|
When all of these conditions are met, you receive a non-delivery receipt
if any of the following events occur when Microsoft Exchange attempts to
connect to your Internet service provider:
| • | The line is busy.
|
| • | There is no answer.
|
| • | Modem negotiation fails.
|
| • | Logon fails.
|
| • | You cancel the connection. |

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Back to the top
When the Work Off-Line And Use Remote Mail check box is not selected,
Microsoft Exchange attempts to connect to your Internet service provider
each time you start Microsoft Exchange. After all messages have been sent
and received, Microsoft Exchange disconnects from the Internet service
provider.
When you send a message using the Internet Mail information service, the
message is placed in the Outbox and is not sent until Microsoft Exchange
checks for new messages. To configure the interval Microsoft Exchange uses
to check for new messages, follow these steps:
| 1. | On the Tools menu, click Services.
|
| 2. | Click Internet Mail, and then click Properties.
|
| 3. | On the Connection tab, click Schedule. |
