Power was down last night for a couple of hours. I came in this morning and had to power up our servers. Our Exchange 5.5 server is receiving outside email, sending email internally, but not sending outgoing email. Any thoughts?
 
Unless you had something similar to an APC Smart-UPS for your battery backup your Exchange likely went down dirty.

I had a similar issuewhen I had to kill the power without shutting down the Exchange services first. I resolved it by stopping all services in the required order and then hard booting the server.

Cheers.
