running on windows 2000 server? that's like, so last century.
this sounds like the tcp-offload issue that plagued windows 2003 sp2 (before the hotfix to fix it); but it doesn't affect server 2000 as far as i know. ________________________________ From: Stephan Barr [stephan.b...@bdtechnology.org] on behalf of lists [li...@bdtechnology.org] Sent: Friday, April 24, 2009 2:24 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2000 sp3 with sp3 rollup.(Windows 2000 AD) mail flow problem Two Exchange servers in site, both fully patched. One is a cold standby. Both behaving the same. Moved mailboxes from primary to secondary and issue remains. Messages stack up in the SMTP queue and local/VPN’d Outlook 2003 clients get, “outlook is trying to retrieve data from the microsoft exchange server”. The server(s) have worked perfectly for about 2 years and suddenly this mailflow issue. Turned up logging to medium in Exchange Transport. Not seeing any errors/warnings in the event log. Initlally thought it was a network connectivity issue but now think it could be AD/security related. Local clients get the disconnection message but the server always responds to a bounceback account I have setup to always reply to me upon receipt. I am remote to the site where the Exchange boxes are. Netdiag and addiag are clean. A restart clears the queue and the server works fine for a few minutes then the queue starts filling again.
