There is a bug in ScanMail for Exchange that I discovered a few months ago and Trend has a hotfix for it. The bug manifests itself when you turn on virus scanning of outbound SMTP messages. Simply turning off the outbound SMTP scanning does not help the messages that already got stuck, the bug does something to them that they remain stuck. New messages however will start flowing OK. The only way I found to push out the stuck messages is to open them with notepad as text files, fix up the first few lines (they are crap - delete them), make sure that you have normal looking headers, From:, To:, Subject. Then save those files and move them to the Pickup directory - they will get re-processed and sent. Of course doing this will strip any Bcc-ed recipients.

Have you seen this happen with scanmail before? The problem did seem to go away for a while but now I have more messages stuck in the queue.... > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:bounce-exchange- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Fyodorov, Andrey FTL > Sent: 07 July 2004 16:39 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: host unreachable - messages with attachments > > Do you have any antivirus software installed on your Exchange server? > Trend ScanMail by any chance? > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Atkinson, Daniel > Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 8:53 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: host unreachable - messages with attachments > > > I have a problem with my 5.5 SP4 server.
