symptom

Error: "Path not found- 8209"

Users who sent out a mail message with attachment  are getting a mail notification with the error: 8209 path not found.

Recipients of that mail message receive the message but the attachment is missing.

The POA displays the error 8209 but it doesn't display the user or message database related to this error.

The problem appears intermittently.

The problem appears if the mail message is sent to multiple users (either selected one by one from the addressbook or using a distribution list)

cause

One of the recipients had a rule created that did the following:
1. Forward incoming mails to a different account which can be internal or external.
2. Delete the original mai lmessage.

The second action (delete mail) would sometimes cause the 8209 error. You will notice that before the error appears on the POA screen there will be purge commands displayed.

fix

Fix:Remove the delete action and do a reduce or expire reduce on a regular basis.
