A declarative workflow that is configured to start automatically when e-mail enabled items are created does not start automatically after you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1
Consider the following scenario:
- You have a declarative workflow.
- This declarative workflow is configured to start automatically when a new item is created in an e-mail enabled list in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
- You install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
In this scenario, the workflow does not start automatically when an e-mail message is sent to the list.
This problem occurs because a security fix in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 prevents declarative workflows from starting automatically under the system account. E-mail enabled list items are always created under the system account.
To resolve this problem, install the update that is described in the Knowledge Base article 953749.

Issues that are fixed in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 by the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Infrastructure Update
This update contains a fix that enables declarative workflows to start automatically when e-mail enabled items are created under the system account.
Notes Administrators can also create a special user account for creating workflows that all workflow authors can use. By doing this, administrators can prevent other people from impersonating specific workflow authors.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
