Hi,

Small Business Server 2000 and Exchange 2000 running.

When sending emails they all go out perfectly, except to one particular person. This started happening yesterday. I was sending alot of very big (50MB and upwards) compressed files to a printers. The first went through but the rest just got stuck in the SMTP queue. I only noticed this this morning and so contacted them and they said they had received one email - the first one. so i deleted the emails from the queue. Now though, it seems that every email, even one with just text in, gets stuck in the queue and wont leave. Any ideas?:?

Emails to all other domains are fine.
 
Try restarting the SMTP service. I had a similar problem with a abnormaly large NDR of 20 megs. Even after deleting the NDR, emails were not going out. Once I restarted the service, everything was back in order.
 
Thanks akwong, things are now out of the queue, will try sending to that address again later.
