Re: No external emails

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

This is only change I can think of that makes sense, and the only change I
made. Let me know if there's any other possible cause.

also, is there an editor or any tools to read the log files with?

The knowledgebase article relating to the hotfix is 923346. The article
itself doesn't actually mention the problem of current sessions that don't
disconnect, I found that connection in someone's Exchange blog. The hotfix
is free but you have to call MS support to get it.

By the way, three connections doesn't sound like much of a problem. When I
had this problem I would see dozens of them with connect times over 10,000
seconds.

Good point Peter,

I did look in the virtual server this morning and they were 3 connections
sitting there after I rebooted. also, I used the sender filter to address
incoming spam, and this problem (second occurance) started after
installing
SP2 .
Any suggestions or technet article on how to fix it.

The one thing I'd suggest is to keep an eye on the number of current
sessions under your default SMTP virtual server. I've had connections
accumulate there in the past, rather than disconnecting normally, to the
point where new mail stops coming in. That particular problem was
eventually
found to be caused by a problem with the Sender ID filter.

Hi,

I've been experiencing a problem with my mail server on Small bussiness
server 2003 sp1. Last night at around 9:20 all the external emails were
not
arriving to there destination inbox. I came in this morning a user
mentioned
she did not get ext emails.
When I looked at SMTP protocol in ESM it had a white circle over it, I
could not stop and restart it, I restarted the IS service nothing
happened,
finally rebooted the server and everything came back.

Nothing was logged in the event logs. I knew it was around 9:20pm
yesterday
b/c I saw the last archived incoming spam was at that time.
This is the second time this has happend with no indication as to why.
Can
any one point me to any direction, also test emails from yahoo were not
returned or delivered, where would I find those emails?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Ramy
