.... and I am not referring to dancing .....

For about the last 36 hours or so, we have had mail backing up in the
spool. The problem seems to be with mail that is being sent to domains
not on our server (inbound that we relay for). Some mail moves fine, I
can send mail to my hotmail account and it arrives in just a few
seconds. I can send mail from the outside to myself and it arrives just
as quick. BUT, if mail is destined for one of the domains that we run
primary MX for, then it just sits there. I can't force it, I empty the
spool folder and it fills back up, I tried relaying it through one of
our smtp relay boxes and that worked somewhat, but that does not explain
the problem.

I have over 700 messages in the queue, with the oldest one currently at
3:30 PM yesterday. There are some 1200+ files in the spool folder (not
counting the log files).

>From everything that I have been reading since yesterday, it appears to
be a DNS issue, but I can't verify. The box seems to be able to resolve
DNS, but nothing else makes any sense. Is there some error to look for
that would point to DNS?

We are running Declude. I have removed that, put it back on, took it off
again just to make sure, then replaced it once more. It is running now.

The box is sleeping. The processor is less than 10% with spikes, but no
pegging.

Memory is less than 50% utilized.

Disk is fine.

Network connectivity seems OK as well.

All has been well on this box for quite some time.

IMAIL v7.07, WIN2K

Will somebody please point out the obvious so I can get back to doing
real work?

Thanks,

rusty
