Thanks for your answers.

I had tried those suggestions but unfortunaltey mail would still get queued.

So, after spending hours trying to tweak settings I decided to reinstall IIS
and then Exchange. Things work great now !!!

I wish I would have done the reinstall earlier, it would have save me a lot
of time :)
