Re: SMTP queue

Are other messages being delivered without issues?
Are the messages in the FE queue for valid recipients?
Anything in the Application Event Log on the FE?

Hi all,

We have Exchange 2003 SP2 frontend and backend topology.
Recently, I look at SMTP queue on the frontend server and
I saw two folders Queue and BadMail on the frontend server.
On the backend servers, there are three folders pickup, BadMail
and Queue. There are 5 emails over 35MB sitting there hours in the
frontend server even though all queue status shows ready on the
backend server and queue is empty. Why do these mails sitting
in the queue of the frontend server and do not deliver to backend server?
Even I force the connection but these emails are still in the retry state.
Is there a way I can make these emails to deliver to the backend server
quickly?

Thank you.
