Smtp Help Asap!!!

Woz · 08-21-2006, 06:18 PM

Hi,
Need help ASAP on this if you can please.

Using Exchange 5.5.
Mail gets delivered to UNIX box and distributes to the exhange server and then to the desired users.

This was not working today as the UNIX system was clogging up all the emails as they could not go anywhere.

I enabled the SMTP service is services (it was disabled) and then it started to look like it was working. I then found out it wasn't. Carrying on the investigation I enabled two other services (IMS) etc and it worked fine. However, all the emails in the que (UNIX box) have now gone and I can't find them anywhere. Surely they must be stored somewhere?

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
Don't worry it is now working. It has tried to send them out, which is why they appeared to be disapearing. They actually had no where to go so they went to the sent items in outlook. Emails have been saved!!

Thanks anyway.
