Yes the outbound messages are the ones that seem to get stuck. I looked at
details of the messages and most of them said (host unreachable) but there
were two other ones that said (network error during host resolution). Im
not sure what that means but I think its on their side. (hopefully) Also if
you can let me know how to do a MX Record lookup. Is this just looking up a
web site or do I do it through my dns. I thank you for your response and
appreciate it so much.
Thank you

Richard, THERE IS NO NEED TO YELL. You haven't said with it is the inbound
or outbound queue. I will assume outbound since it would be rare for
inbound messages to be stuck. If you are not relaying to another server it
is very common to have messages stuck in the outbound delivery queue. If
you click on the Details button it will tell you why the message has not
been delivered. The most common reason will be Host Unavailable or Host
Undeliverable. That means that for any number of reasons your server could
not initiate a TCP session with the recipients mailhost. If most of your
messages are going through then there is a probably nothing wrong.
Especially if the messages in question go after awhile. You can test a
connection by doing an MX record lookup for the host in question and then
initiate a telnet session to port 25 to that host from your Exchange server.
If that fails, then your IMS will be unable to send the message.
Scott.

Hello,
I HAVE EXCHANGE SERVER 5.5 SP4 RUNNING ON WINDOWS NT 4.0 SP6. EVERYDAY I
CHECK THE IMS QUEUES AND IT SHOWS SOME MESSAGES ARE STUCK IN THE QUEUES FOR
A LONG TIME. THE MESSAGE WILL KEEP TRYING FOR SOMETIME BUT WILL STAY IN
THERE FOR EVER. ALSO OTHER MESSAGES ARE GOING OUT AND WE ALSO RECEIVE ALOT
OF MESSAGES WITH NO PROBLEM. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE IS ONE COMPANY THAT
ALWAYS GET STUCK IN THE QUEUE. I DONT HAVE MESSAGE TRACKING ON BECAUSE I
DONT KNOW HOW TO SET THAT UP. ALSO IF ITS THE OTHER COMPANYS SERVER PLEASE
LET ME KNOW WHY IT WOULD BE THEIR SERVER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
