Are there any sort of SMTP relays in front of your Exchange Server? Can you manually telnet to the servers in question? Also, make sure the emails arent being delivered to alternate mx record for the external users you are sending to and then somehow never getting routed correctly to them. Belive it or not, an email I sent two months ago to an account in London just got delivered last week. Do you have any headers you could post here?

EX5.5, SP3, NT4, SP6a, OL98 and OL2K: A few dozen users (out of 3,500) - including me! - have been complaining that e-mails sent to external addresses never arrive. They don't even get off the Exchange Server(s), but are not in any queue that I can see. In desperation, I moved my own account to another server (in the same site). A message I'd sent on Monday was held somewhere, and not delivered until Thursday. The headers suggested that it was composed and sent on Thursday. I've searched the archives, and couldn't find anything related to this. I also searched my own archive of this list, with no result. Comments? Ideas? Suggestions? _________________________________________________________________ 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] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this email message is privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
