Hello All, unfortunately it has started working again and I am none the wiser! The timeline of what occurred when was as follows: Tuesday morning everything working fine. Added additional ip address to server to allow creation of new recieve connector for internal ticketing system that needs to send out emails. Created new recieve connector. Readded some static routing commands to the server as it seemed to lose them and could not communicate with the 2nd Exchange 2010 server we are using to test the site replication via DAGs functionality. Store.exe started using 95% of cpu and server needed rebooting 3pm started getting email delay notification Tried various things as outlined previously Removed database mirror Removed DAG Removed additional receive connector and additonal ip addresses Rebooted server Still not working Then 10 minutes later everything started working again. I will look through the event viewer and log files to see if I can spot anything. Then I will pyt back the DAG. Andy

On the 2003 server, you need to enable the other attributes on the logging properties window. Check them all. Regards, Michael B.

I have enabled protocol logging on the send and receive connectors to verbose but I am only getting log files in the SmtpReceive directory. There is nothing in the queues on the Exchange 2003 servers and the log files are showing the odd smtp communication between the 2 servers similar to: 2010-08-25 14:06:31 192.168.1.13 192.168.1.3 EHLO - 2010-08-25 14:06:31 192.168.1.13 192.168.1.3 x-exps - 2010-08-25 14:06:31 192.168.1.13 192.168.1.3 x-link2state - 2010-08-25 14:06:31 192.168.1.13 192.168.1.3 MAIL - 2010-08-25 14:06:31 192.168.1.13 192.168.1.3 RCPT - 2010-08-25 14:06:31 192.168.1.13 192.168.1.3 xexch50 - 2010-08-25 14:06:31 192.168.1.13 192.168.1.3 BDAT - 2010-08-25 14:06:31 192.168.1.13 192.168.1.3 QUIT - Regards Andy ________________________________ From: Michael B.

Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Andy Lawrence [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 7:30 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2010 no longer sends email Hello All (again), I'm not having much luck with Exchange 20101! Not only does it stop responding a couple of times a week (see earlier post) but now it has decided that it doesn't want to send emails. We have Exchange 2003 and aded a fully patched Exchange 2010 server (vm) about 2 weeks ago. Since yesterday afternoon people with mailboxes on the 2010 server send emails but they never get to the recipient. This includes internal and external emails. For some of the emails they sent yesterday they got NDR along the lines of... "Delivery is delayed to these recipients or groups: Anthony Bloke ([email protected]) Subject: FW: should we move to Google Apps This message hasn't been delivered yet. Delivery will continue to be attempted. The server will keep trying to deliver this message for the next 1 days, 19 hours and 57 minutes. You'll be notified if the message can't be delivered by that time." The send connector is still there with an address space of * an a cost of 1. The source server is correct. I have tried deleting the connector and recreating it. If I use the queue viewer it does not show anything waiting. The mail flow troubleshooter doesn't highlight anything either. The routing log viewer does not even show the send connector on the send conector tab. Wireshark does not show any outgoing smtp comunications from the server / connector The server was sending emails successfully and it looks like the problem started sometime after I restarted the Information store (due to the problem of the store.exe process taking up all the cpu) Since then I have rebooted the server as well to see if that helped but it doesn't. There are 2 other send connectors showing which are the ones on the Exchange 2003 server. I have renamed them to verify this. On the Exchange 2010 server they do not have a source server mentioned.
