I'm sorry, it's backing up in the outbound queue (outbound messages awaiting deliver). Looking at the messages usually indicates a name resolution issue which, of course, is DNS. But I don't understand why it (DNS) would just stop working. I've got my main Active Directory server (which is also my main file and print server) running DNS.
I have a static IP address on the Exchange server pointing to the DNS server as the primary and then to my ISP's DNS servers as secondary (and tertiary). You know I'm also getting messages from the Exchange listserv that my account is on hold. I know Ed looked into this earlier and noticed something wonky but I was never able to figure out how to resolve it. Right now I'm answering this on the Swynk website since I'm not receiving messages again from the group. I did find a post through Google that said I should restart the MTA as well as the IMC. But I'm thinking if this is a DNS issue that's not going to help. But then, I don't understand why rebooting the computer helps since DNS is on a completely different machine. The DNS Event log on my DNS server is "clean" there are only informational events, nothing even remotely resembling anything wrong with DNS on that machine, so it's GOT to be localized to the Exchange server. I see nothing in either the Application or System logs in the Event viewer prior to this problem that gives me any clues. Thanks for any thoughts.
