Re: Mail messages won't leave queue

This sounds like a DNS issue. You can use SMTPDiag to troubleshoot sending email from your server.

You might want to verify if your internet provider allows having a mail server. From what you are describing, that is the common reasons email doesn't relay. If they are ending up in the badmail folder, please post the error listed.

Hey Guys,

I am testing my smtp service on my windows server 2003 machine. I drop a
mail message in the "Pickup" directory under mailroot, however every mail
message that I have sent gets stuck in the queue. Has anyone had or heard of
this problem before? Please advise.

Main Problem:
Mail will not leave queue.
