Outgoing mail not sending now in exchange 5.5

[mattmc97]

Hello all.

New issue now. I had figured out that someone was using my email server to relay messages and I had over 10000 emails sitting in my outbound waiting to be delivered box. Well I got those all cleaned out and figured that is why I could not email out. Any way, now we can still receive but cannot send any emails. Nothing has changed on the router or on the server that I know of.

Any ideas on what would be causing this?

thanks in advance.

Step 1: Make sure your Exchange services are running.
Step 2: Stop your Exchange server from relaying.
Step 3: Check you logs for clues.
Step 4: Visit the top Realtime Black Lists and check to make
sure that your not listed. If you are, initialize
a retesting of your address.

What did you do to stop the relaying?

Are you unable to send to any outside address or just those that are checking for known relays?

Are you getting any Non-Delivery messages?
