"Exchange aborted receiving the message after N bytes" error

Exchange's antispam feature interrupted message receipt mid-transfer. This typically means Exchange detected the sending IP (the POPcon server) as suspicious.

Fix

  1. Add the POPcon server's IP address to the IP Allow List in Exchange antispam settings.
  2. In Exchange Management Console, go to Server Configuration > Hub Transport > Anti-Spam.
  3. Select IP Allow List and add the POPcon server's IP.

Alternatively, disable individual antispam agents one by one to identify which one is causing the abort.
