A customer of ours is having the exact same problem. One the stuck queue
occurs I can unstick it by "End Tasking" Inetinfo.exe. However, I think the
problem has something to do with Trend and SBS POP3 connector. We have
exactly the same setup (minus the POP3 mail) and do not have the problem.

I will try and disable the POP3 at the client and see if the problem
reoccurs.

HTH,
John
