SYMPTOMS
========
The Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA) terminates unexpectedly with
an event similar to the following (as viewed in the Application Event Log):
Event Id: 9405
Source: MSExchangeMTA
Type: Error
Category: Field Engineering
Description:
An unexpected error has occurred which may cause the MTA to terminate. Error:

This failure may be coincident with the addition of a new Directory Replication
Connector, or at MTA startup.
CAUSE

The MTA code that generates the text file GWART0.MTA did not use a data
structure large enough to accommodate the routing information obtained through
directory replication.
WORKAROUND
==========
There is no workaround for this problem.
