mail on queue

[parker309]

I have an Exchange 2000 server running on Windows 2000 server. I have large messages (about 5MB) sitting in the queue that are continually trying to send out. It seems to only be when trying to send to one specific domain. The message sitting in the queue has a "red dot" over the envelope. All other mail seems to be routing properly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

From the box try using the smtp command via telnet to send a sample message.

ie...

telnet mail.domain.com 25

It may shed some light on anti-spam measures coming from that domain.

another thing that I saw on one server was the domain going to was a *.coop ext. and going to sp3 fixed that.

Or it also means that it is trying to send but the server that you're trying to send to has a "high-traffic" line. If you don't want queues (specially large ones) to sit for a very long time you should adjust it to expire after 2 days.

Parker309,

I believe the external party might be block out oversize email message.
U can check on the message log of that message to see what is the response of the external mailserver to your current message.


System manager >> Server >> Protocol >> SMTP >> Queue >> Domain >> Message

I know no voice, I knew not systems,
i know NUTS on networking, Therefore I dont know anything!
