    I have a Windows2000 sp4 server with exchange2000 sp3 and rollup hotfixes.
    Recently I have noticed out-going e-mail for certain domains are getting
    stuck in the smtp queue. I get the standard NDRs and finally the
    Undeliverable notification comes in. I have found this to be a problem for 4
    domains so far and for out-going e-mails only . I do not use a smarthost and
    I have tried the SmtpDiag tool and it reports everything is fine. After
    reading the posts here I'm noticing I'm not alone here with this problem
    others seems to be having the same issue but no clear cut solution. I asked
    the tech at one of the stuck domains to check his smtp queue for a
    connection from my server and sure enough it is there but he is telling me
    the connection sits there and eventually times out before any e-mails are
    received. About a minth ago eBay was having the same problems with sending
    e-mails to me, I would notice sessions from their servers in my "current
    Sessions" window sometimes there would be as many as 6 of their servers all
    connected but sitting there until the connection timeout was reached and
    they would reconnect. I don't know what they did to fix the problem but they
    did solve it. I'm not sure what else to look for in trying to solve this
    issue, is there any experts or anyone that has solved this problem?

    Thanks everyone
