Receive connector error : 452 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources. No back pressure event

Hi ,

I have Exchange 2013 server configured as a multirole (cas+mbx) that is rejecting messages .

I started the verbose logging of the receive connector and notice that sometimes the response from the server was

452 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources.

I don't have back pressure events and my Transport Database has a lot of free space.

Any ideas ?

Exchange 2013 CU7

Hi Martin,

Is it rejecting external emails or internal as well. Is it actually causing a failure or delay only.

This 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources is usually for Back Pressure issue (No sufficient disk space or RAM)

Do you see anything on the Application event log.

When you see the error\issue next time Validate the following system resources are in normal:

Calculate the values for your environment using the article Back Pressure:

  • Free space on the hard drive that stores the message queue database.

  • Free space on the hard drive that stores the message queue database transaction logs.

  • The number of uncommitted message queue database transactions that exist in memory.

  • The memory that's used by the EdgeTransport.exe process.

  • The memory that's used by all other processes.

  • The number of messages in the Submission queue.

Hi,

No event 15004-15007. Disk , CPU and ram are sufficient.Event tried to disable Back Presure in EdgeTransport.exe.config with this key :

<add key="EnableResourceMonitoring" value="false" /> (Transport services restarted)

Still my server rejects mails. Internal, external same problem.

Just found the problem. Except that affected Exchange server there was other 4 that doesn't host any services. No mailbox databases ,no one uses them.

Well one of them was with 0 bytes free on the OSDisk. So no shadow redundancy and no back pressure event on that server.

Because there is another Server on the same site , shadow redundancy works fine. It seems that this was my major issue for now.Clearing free space and restarting the Exchange transport services fired up Back Pressure event from High to Normal on the affecter server with zero free space.

How to diagnose this kind of error - Look for FrontEnd connectivity logs , not SMTP verbose logs :)

Hi Martin,

Great, so finally 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources did mean No sufficient disk space.

Good learning for us to keep an eye on other transport servers in the site as well.
