The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry to determine whether Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) connector routing logic has been modified from its default setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RESvc\Parameters\AttachedTimeout

If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds that the AttachedTimeout registry key is present and configured with a value greater than 300, a non-default configuration message is displayed.

The AttachedTimeout registry entry is a custom configuration setting for Exchange Server that determines the frequency at which the ORG_INFO packet is sent. Every time the routing client does not connect to a routing server, the user version of the topology will be incremented and will cause the ORG_INFO packet to be broadcast throughout the whole organization.
