SYMPTOMS
When you configure SharePoint Portal Server to index the public folder store of a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer, SharePoint Portal Server may incorrectly send subscription notification messages to users to notify them that items in the public folder have changed, even though no changes occurred.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because when the Exchange 2000 computer comes online after it has been offline (unavailable), SharePoint Portal Server incorrectly processes the last modified date of public folder items. As a result, the contents of the public folders are indexed, and subscription notifications are generated. For example, this problem may occur when you stop and restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, or when you shut down and restart the Exchange 2000 computer.
RESOLUTION
This problem was first fixed in a hotfix that is now contained in a service pack. If you have installed SharePoint Portal Server 2001 Service Pack 3 or a later service pack, you do not have to apply the hotfix.
Service pack information
This problem was first corrected in SharePoint Portal Server 2001 Service Pack 3.
