My outgoing mail queue is about to explode!

[HobbitLovr]

All of a sudden my I'm getting no incoming/outgoing internet mail on my Exchange server 5.5.

When I go to Exchange administrator/configuration/Connections and look at my Internet Mail Service queue, I see all the messages stuck there with the message "[network error during host resolution]" - the ONLY think that's been weird around here was a power outage over the weekend. All servers went down, and since they came back up I have not internet mail. (internal mail is being delivered fine). I have a separate server running DNS, and a separate server running Proxy. Everything APPEARS to be fine, except the ominous yellow mail queue, growing and growing! Can anyone help me? (I just got this exchange mail server 9 months ago and I've never seen THIS before)

Nevermind. I reinstalled the proxy client software and rebooted for the 10th time and now it seems to be working again. Go figure. [sig]<p>Elaine<br><a href=mailto:HobbitLovr@aol.com>HobbitLovr@aol.com</a><br>[/sig]

Try dial your ISP manually, if you are using dial-up connections. Otherwise try to see whether you COM ports have got any problems. Try to re-boot your Exchange server.

Thanks! The problem was actually solved, but it's nice to know someone's listening.
