I had that problem several months ago after I took a second Exchange box down but forgot to remove it from the site. Make sure the number of servers actually out there agrees with those known to Exchange.

I just upgraded our server to NT 4.0 SP6A and Exchange 5.5 SP4. Now one of our servers that houses the Internet Mail Service seems to stop processing mail every two weeks or so. My link monitors show the outbound queue stacking up mail, and when you try to stop the IMS service it says service does not respond. You have to reboot the processor then everything clears up fine. I ran the optimizer, but that didn't help. I was thinking about trying to re-installing the 5.5 service pack. Can you just re-install the SP without having to de-install? Any other suggestions?
