Event ID: 15007

Description: The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is rejecting message submissions because the service continues to consume more memory than the configured threshold. This may require that this service be restarted to continue normal operation.

Event Source: MSExchangeTransport

Event Category: Resource Manager

Event ID: 15004

Description:

Resource pressure increased from Previous Utilization Level to Current Utilization Level.

• Quick fix is to just restart your Transport service.
• Long term fix is to either disable Transport from monitoring or what I'd recommend is to give the Exchange server the necessary resources, and adjust the settings accordingly.
• Apply updates as directed by the Vendor

To Disable the Transport from Monitoring :

Modify the edgetransport.exe.config file using notepad. This can be found in c:\program files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\bin. Change the “EnableResourceMonitoring” from “True” to “False”, save and close the file, then restart the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service.
