Interesting read:
In some scenarios, the sink bindings may exist in the Exchange 2000 Server
metabase but the sink is not properly registered in the registry. When this
occurs, the SMTP protocol does not create the sink when it tries to process
the "MAIL FROM" command. As a result Exchange 2000 Server drops the
connection, and the outgoing mail is not processed.
This issue may occur when a third party program, for example GFI Mail
Essentials, is installed and then incorrectly or incompletely removed. GFI
Mail Essentials contains an add-on named Mail Security. Mail Security
installs an outbound SMTP sink that verifies the validity of the sender
address. If improperly removed, the sink may remain although the sink is no
longer correctly registered. When the "MAIL FROM" command is initiated by
Exchange 2000 Server, the sink fails and Exchange 2000 Server drops the
connection.
