exchange 5.5 mail queue has been building up

[Todd451]

About a week ago we started getting this message in the event viewer and we noticed a build up in the 'Outbound Awaiting Conversion queue'

attempt to remove processed messages from the outbound store queue has failed. The removal will be retried later. If the messages are not removed before the service is shut down, the mail will be resent at service startup causing duplicate mail.

Has anyone else ever seen this issue.. If so any help on this would be great

Can you provide the event ID number and a verbatim of the error reported?

I'll check it out once you give me the ID numbers.

The event ID is 3038 that shows up in the event viewer this is the only error I can find.
