The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool queries the Win32_NTLogEvent Microsoft Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) class to determine whether an Event 4006 warning has been logged for MSExchangeTransport within the last 24 hours.
If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds that an Event 4006 warning has been logged for MSExchangeTransport within the last 24 hours, the Exchange Server Analyzer displays a warning.
This warning usually indicates that an attempt to send mail to a remote server has failed.
An MSExchangeTransport Event 4006 warning can occur because of the following conditions:
The connection was dropped by the remote host.
The remote Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service rejected AUTH negotiation.
The server that is trying to deliver the message cannot access the message delivery information in the message.
An SMTP error occurred.
The server that is trying to deliver the message cannot connect to the remote server.
A smart host that has been specified in the properties of the SMTP virtual server is unreachable for any reason.
