Running Exchange 2000 Enterprise SP3 on Windows 2000
Advanced Server for several months - Until today users
could recall messages as long as they had not been
opened. Now users can no longer recall messages. When
the user attempts to recall the message they receive a
reply noting that the recall failed. The user on the other
end also receives a message stating that the sending user
tried to recall the message as well as the original
message.
Any thoughts as to what could be causing this?
thanks.

I've seen the problem occur more often than I've seen message recall ever
work. I generally suggest that people not use it as it isn't reliable. The
list of requirements for successful recall is pretty lengthy...and I think
it's worse to have it not work than not to use it at all. Tell people the
best idea is to exercise caution before hititng Send.... sorry.

has anyone called MS about this issue?
the recall failures are internal, among staff using the
same exchange server, w/s hardware, os, outlook 2000
client, and the emails sent are not being open, meeting
all the requirement.
thanks for the input.

The message recall functionality is COMPLETELY a function of the Outlook
client. The Exchange Server has nothing to do with it. So if you are having
a problem with a recall, it's ONLY between the sending and receiving
workstations, not the server.

Processing of the Message Recall is something that Outlook does and can be
easily disabled. If it isn't working, then look at the configuration of the
destination Outlook, someone probably turned the feature off.

Message Recall is essentially a *throw, it might work, it might not work
when sending to another Outlook recipient. It WON'T work when sending to any
other mail reader.

In general, I don't recommend that it be used. Treat email as you would
postal mail, once you've stuck the envelope in the big blue box, there is no
way to recover it.
