Message Text

%1 messages have reached or exceeded the configured poison threshold of %2. After the Microsoft Exchange Transport service restarted, these messages were moved to the poison message queue.

Explanation

This Warning event indicates that the transport process detected a message that could harm a Microsoft Exchange environment. That message was moved to the poison message queue.

Any message that causes the Microsoft Exchange Transport service to fail during message processing is classified as a poison message. Poison messages are put in the poison message queue. The poison message queue is a special queue that is used to isolate messages that are detected to be potentially harmful to the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 system after a server failure. For more information, see Understanding Transport Queues.

User Action

No user action is required. However, we recommend that you contact Microsoft Product Support to report the potentially harmful message that Exchange detected. You can contact a Microsoft Support professional by going to the Exchange Server Solutions Center page at the Microsoft Support Web site. From the Exchange Server Solution Center page, click Assisted Support Options and then use one of the assisted support options to contact a Microsoft Support professional.
