I actually have tested that as well. I have no problem (while the messages are getting backedup) pinging by name, accessing network shares by name, or telneting by name from the problem server to the other exchange servers.
But... I haven't seen the problem for 2 hours now. Maybe it's gone? -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 4:27 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: MTA Problems?

NT4 SP6a, Exch 5.5 SP4, GSE4.5 SP1 HF7 I am having an odd problem with the MTA on the bridgehead of my central site. The MTA is working sometimes. It works fine for awhile then the messages will start backing up in the queues going to the servers in the same site (same network segment as well) and other sites. They will move very slowly about 1-3 every minute. They messages will build up to anywhere from 200-500 in a queue, then all of a sudden they will fly out of the queue within 30 seconds. This is after about 30-45 minutes of backing up in the queue. Another thing I noticed is the queues from the other servers in this site to the problem server are NOT backing up. This is what I have done: Turned up diag logging levels to max for everything in the MTA. Did not receive any error or warning messages. Just info. MTACHECK multiple times and came back with no problems. For connectivity... telnet from problem server to other server in site on port 110...no problem Rebooted the server... didn't help I have my network guys looking at the sniffer watching the packs to and from this server, but they don't see anything unusual. Any thoughts? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
