Hi all, 

I've got a test machine I'm using to learn exchange. Unfortunately, due
to a lack of extra machines, it's setup as a single AD
controller/exchange server. 

Yesterday, I was tinkering with the domain controller/domain/local
security policy settings. Well, now the server can't send mail. My smtp
queue is piling up my test message, those internal to internal, internal
to ext, and ext to internal msgs are all just sitting. Queues are ready
and active. 

I'm getting no errors with my exchange services, smtp service, or in
the event viewer. I turned on extra diag logging for the MSEexchange
transport and  MSExchangeIS mailbox settings but haven't seen any
warnings or failures in the event viewer. 

Since the only changes I made since the death of mail service have been
the security policy settings I tried to set back what I had changed.
But, I've missed something somewhere. I was mostly changing the Local
Policies -> User Rights Assignment  area. Mainly the logon locally
settings, access this computer from the network settings, and Manage
auditing and security log settings.

So, I'm asking the group for help. I'm looking for a listing or
description of what security policy settings are necessary for proper
smtp mail delivery so I can get things back in order. Or perhaps a
method of resetting them to what exchange needs, if this is possible. 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
