Hello.

We get (intermittantly) the following errors from homeworkers ,connecting via VPN (SonicWall), when sending email (Outlook 2003 SP2) through our Exchange 2003 SP2 Server:

The client operation failed. Error is [0x80004005-0x0004b9-0x000501].

It looks as if the email From field has been stripped off. Sending again will work, but it is an annoying problem that is becoming more and more common.

Had a look on the internet, and found one Microsoft Tech say That the error cannot be shared externally - Only for internal use, which is Bonkers!!!

If anyone can shed any light in this issue, it would be great.

Thanks.

Anyone at all? Just had error again on an external users Outlook.

Thanks.

80004005 basically means Mapi_e_call_failed, which is rather unspecific. You'll need more detail yo determine the issue.
