Sorry if this is a dumb question but...

Are you sure that DNS resolution is working properly? If the server can't
resolve an MX record for the remote domain, then mail will sit in the queue
directory like you describe.

Otherwise, does the remote machine trust the Geotrust root CA and
subordinate CAs? (and if Geotrust is using a cert from another CA to sign
it's issued certs), then all the CAs in the entire certificate heirarchy?

Cheers
Ken
