Hi,
We are currently experiencing issues with users not being able to send/receive between Exchange 2003 clusters/virtual servers. The respective resources lie on the first node/virtual host 1 and second node/virtual host 2 and we have the 3rd for failover. Users are able to send to other outside users in the GAL and to commercial e-mail addresses without error, however when attempting to send/receive internal messages between users that are on different servers, it appears that the messages disappear and no NDR is given. When a read reciept is used it only displays the names of the users that were on the same server as the user that sent the message. After researching and finding very little if nothing on this, we shut down all three nodes and brought them back online. After they all came back online as well as the resources, all the messages that hadn't been received were delivered. Before this happened, we also checked the queue for local delivery, however it was empty. I know that interruptions in service is what we try to avoid so I know that there has to be a better solution than to restart an enterprise asset. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Matt
