Emails Received but not distributed

[PAH]

A problem that occured over the last weekend our email server was picking up emails from our isp ( according to the logs) and receiving them but not distributing them to the recipients.

I know that the server is short of space and due to be transferred to a new server soon but some of the emails were important and I need to get my hands on them if possible?

You can check the routing, make sure that you allow the domain name (your isp) to allow incomming mail from that domain name. I am not an expert with Exchange but I hope this helps! Gordon R. Durgha

The routing has not changed everything was fine before and since it seems it only happens occasionaly.

IF you are on 5.5 then chech the SMTP queue, it should be in this queue. Restrat your SMTP server and make sure all services start. You maynot able to start your MTA and Info services if you don't have at least 10MB, then no mail will be distributed.

IF you have an firewall and Unix sendmail then it may stuck in his sendmail.

If you are on Exchange 2K. open the Exchange manager and under protocol, navigatet to the SMTP/queue to see if mail is stucked in there. Try to force connection if you can start the delivery.


Good luck.
