Today I met a strange issue in Exchange 2013 new installation.

Incoming emails were not arrived at the mailboxes. The NDR shows “Remote host said: 451 4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later. PRX2″

I checked everything on the DNS side and no joy !!!

The server used were a multi-role server and found as this is a bug in the program.

The fix is:

1. Create host file entries on the server with two names: server,server.domain.local 

2. Restart “Microsoft Frontend Transport” and “Microsoft Exchange Transport” services

After doing the procedure, inbound emails has been arrived suddenly !!!

Hope this will help you if you met issues in Exchange 2013 Multi-role server infrastructure

    I have just installed Exchange 2013 cu5 and got this same error on a server with two nics.

    Adding entries to the Exchange server’s host file as described above cured the problem for me.
    E.G. (tab)
    and (tab)

    FYI for noobs: hosts file is usually located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
    Open notepad with Admin rights (to allow saving of new entries) and browse to above location.
