Update Antimalware Exchange error “Message deferred by categorizer agent, FIP-FS”

Desciption

Those of you who are using it, please note. The beginning of 2022 is on New Year’s Day. Microsoft Exchange Just released MSFTExchange has released the #msantimalware update for Exchange Anti-malware. This update will cause email not sending/receiving error. The cause is related to Y2K2 not converting the number string. All emails will be stuck in the submission queue with error code:

Solution: Temporarily disable or bypass Exchange Antimalware. Open Powershell run the commands below:

Wait for Microsoft to update the patch. Today, I have been treated and met by an administrator. Friendly welcome Happy New Year 2022
