What do the events recorded in the Application Event Log mean for Mail Utilities?

Symptoms

I'm getting event log entries recorded in the application event log, and I don't know what they mean.

Cause

Exclaimer will write various entries to the application event log when certain events occur. This knowledge base article describes the events and under what circumstances they would be written to the event log.

Event Log ID Severity Description More information
1 Image Error There was an unhandled exception whilst processing an SMTP message in the command %1. The message will not be affected. An error was trapped during Exclaimer execution that was not forseen during development, but to prevent this error from terminating the INETINFO process, Exclaimer trapped this and reported it to the event log. If this event occurs occasionally you can safely ignore this event, but if it occurs on a regular basis, it may point to an infrastructure problem.
2 Image Error eXclaimer was unable to open the file %1. The error was %2. Logging was disabled. This error is generated if Exclaimer cannot open it's log file for output. This may be generated if some other process has the file open already, such as Word. It may also be caused by a folder permissions problem. Under these circumstances, Exclaimer logging was disabled.
3 Image Error eXclaimer was unable to open the file %1 in thread %2. The file was locked for an unacceptable period of time.
This error can occur if the log file is locked for an unacceptable period of time (>10 minutes) and an Exclaimer process wishes to write to it to add more logging information. If the INETINFO process is terminated at this time, then logging information may be lost.
