Exchange queues
|
From: Damien on 6 Jul 2010 20:52 I have a SBS 2003. In the exchange queues there are email that are not leaving the queue. There are also email leaving normally without error. When I click on a queue that is not working I get the follow 2 types of error message. The connection was dropped by the remote host or An SMTP protocol error occurred. Anyone know what is happening?

Things do happen which prevent delivery of emails and yet its important that they are delivered if possible, hence the queue and retry approach. You will find that if items remain in the queue for more than 2 days (I think that's the default but it can be changed) then the sender will get a delivery failure notication and them items will be removed from the queue. So depending on how long your items were in the queue they might have been delivered or they might have "timed-out" and generated a delivery failure. It probably isn't worth investigating to see which has happened. -- Brian Cryer http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian
From: Damien on 8 Jul 2010 23:25 Ok thanks I have realized I have another issue. I have a couple of outlook 2000 users that have problems replying to emails. The email just sits in their out box. But if they write a new email to the person they are trying to reply to the email is sent and is received at the other end.

I've seen this when trying to send/reply via a different account (say POP3/SMTP account instead of via Exchange) and there has been a configuration issue with the account. I've not seen it when only Exchange is involved. You might get better visibility and thus more replies if you start a new thread for a new problem. -- Brian Cryer http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian
