Ive completely uninstalled (only temp to test) the antivirus and the same
problem persists. The antivirus is exchange aware and has been running ok
for a few years.

Make sure you antivirus software on the server is not scanning the
following files/folders.


Files/Folders to exclude from both realtime and scheduled scans:

Folders
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server\Networking\POP3\Incoming mail
C:\Program Files\exchsrvr
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv
C:\Windows\system32\lls

Files
c:\pagefile.sys
c:\windows\system32\licstr.cpa

Having had problems with my server i built a new server and moved the
mailboxes over. Everything seemed to be going fine until again mail
stopped coming into the user mailboxes. Following various references
around the internet it looks like its the local SMTP system causing a
problem. The way things work here is the pop3 connector picks up
various mails from various isp's and puts most directly into user
mailboxes. There is also one account (the primary domain) that picks
up email and sorts it as a global mailbox using the exchang email
details for the user ot route. This was all workign fine until a few
days ago (i presume some update thats finally downloaded on the new
server).

It looks like all the mails are getting as far as the
Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\PickUp folder then sitting there. Ive run all
the checks i could find on the internet without any luck. The local
SMTP services are all running.

Any ideas??

Many Thanks

Adrian
