corrupt transport queues
This am we had some corrupt transport queue, a 2.1gb mail.que file and logfiles. I pulled them out and bounced the server, everything started we got about 800 messages in queue it dropped to about 530 and then stopped again. restarting the transport service yields the same results. I get all the logfiles replaying then a timed out message and then it starts replaying the logs again and again in a loop. It gets all the way to the top log file and then hangs there then seems to start over again. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
RE: Exchange SMTP queues
Use perf mon to monitor the queue ¡V if you are using an event monitoring tool, configure for an alarm to either page or email or both. My recommendation is to go with Event Log Monitor (http://www.tntsoftware.com) . Very reasonably priced with excellent technical support. Email me if you need pricing info or exact config.

Maybe not the easiest way to do it, but one possibility is to use Netsaint monitoring package ( www.netsaint.org <http://www.netsaint.org> ) together with the NSclient (NT client) to monitor a performance monitor counter. I believe there is a perfmon counter for this, so it shouldn't be to difficult to setup.

SMTP Virtual Server Queues
Hello all. I have a question I'm hoping someone can assist me with regarding STMP queues. I currently have one Exchange 2000 mailbox server and an Exchange 5.5 IMC server. I just added another Exchange 2000 server which will eventually replace my existing 5.5 server. I changed my mx record to point to the new Exchange 2000 server instead of the IMC and all incoming email goes to the new server just fine (I have not setup an SMTP Connector yet for outgoing so that is going through the IMC). However, everything in both Antigen and perfmon shows all the traffic in only the "SMTP/Outbound" queues? I also attempted to test a couple of disclaimer products and they ended up stamping all of my incoming mail because the emails appear as "outbound" when they are very much inbound? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Exchange 2010 mail queues
I'm sure Exchange 2010 shouldn't be this much fun.. We have 2 x Exchange 2003 servers. We added an Exchange 2010 server a month or so ago and moved some mailboxes on to it for testing. We then added another Exchange 2010 to create a DAG. As this is going at a remote site we put it on a different subnet and configured a temporary router so that once we had it working locally we stood a good chance of it working remotely as the ip addresses would be the same etc. The DAG bit went well but at some time whilst playing the users on the original Exchange 2010 server complained that their emails were not being sent. To cut a long story short I took out all the DAG configurations and removed the other configuration change I had made (I had added a 2nd ip address to the network card and created a send connector on the ip address to allow an internal server to relay). After rebooting emails started going again. Yesterday I revisited the 2nd Exchange 2010 server and just turned it on and applied SP1 (to ensure it is the same as the 1st Exchange 2010 server) Note it is still not hosting any user mailboxes. Today users on the 1st Exchange 2010 complained that emails were not being sent again. This time I managed to find them in the queue viewer for the 2nd Exchange 2010 server. Looking at the error it is saying the following: 451 4.4.0 Primary target ip responded with 451.5.7.3 cannot achieve exchange server authentication I did notice that there was a route statement missing on the 2nd Exchange 2010 server whic hwould have stopped it talking to the 2nd Exchange 2003 server. I have since added it and can connect via smtp to all the other Exchange servers. To make matters worse I rebooted the second server and now when I try to run the management console I get : "The following error occurred while attempting to connect to the specified exchange server dr.server.local The attempt to connect to http://dr.server.local/PowerShell using the Kerberos authentication failed: connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message : Access denied" So the main questions are why are the emails in a queue on the 2nd Exchange 2010 server and why aren't they being sent? Note if I turn off the 2nd Exchange 2010 server emails flow normally. The second question is what has happened to the EMC?

No, just replaying log files, it takes well over 2 hours to go through it. the mail.que is 5.9gb, and the queue is basically empty when I get it running.

RE: corrupt transport queues
Im checking if any updates have been applied recently but this is 2007sp3 at minimum. WSUS shows last updates @ 12/5/2010 I did that btw, and what happens is the mail.que built up to 3gb in about 20 mins with hundreds of log files, if I stop the transport (or reboot) when it comes back on it starts replaying all the logfiles and then times out. Then I get database dirty shutdown and I have to pull it out. Whats odd is that during this time mail is delivering just fine it seems when we send test emails back and forth and the email transactions on the server in that time frame is just a few hundred and nowhere near 3gb, so im wondering if we are losing mail or the transport role is corrupted.

RE: corrupt transport queues
We don't have rollup 2 for exchange sp3, according to windows update. The only errors I really get is starting transport service then you see the logiles replaying in the eventvwr but it goes basically in circles you can see it go all the way from oldest to newest then it starts bouncing around and 45 mins later it says completed but the transport is already in 'starting' so nothing I can do but wipe and try again.

RE: corrupt transport queues
We had 2 servers running HT during migration, and went down to 1 about 2 weeks ago, but only had 1 before forever. I did see that the HT had an unlimited send/recv size although we have a max size on smtp and the spam filter so I fixed that. I turned the server we migrated away from which was still on back into HT and had the same problem with it too! So I let it keep going and I reset the HT by deleting mail.que about 5 times and then it seemed to fix itself a bit and I was good. I must have a disconnect somewhere because although HT was running and obviously falling behind if you look at the actual queues themselves they were 0 on both servers but the mail.que would just build up. One of the files was 4.9gb and became corrupted I moved the queue folder out and ran a repair and afterwards it was 2mb. From: Michael B.

We have 2 x Exchange 2003 servers. We added an Exchange 2010 server a month or so ago and moved some mailboxes on to it for testing. We then added another Exchange 2010 to create a DAG. As this is going at a remote site we put it on a different subnet and configured a temporary router so that once we had it working locally we stood a good chance of it working remotely as the ip addresses would be the same etc. The DAG bit went well but at some time whilst playing the users on the original Exchange 2010 server complained that their emails were not being sent. To cut a long story short I took out all the DAG configurations and removed the other configuration change I had made (I had added a 2nd ip address to the network card and created a send connector on the ip address to allow an internal server to relay). After rebooting emails started going again. Yesterday I revisited the 2nd Exchange 2010 server and just turned it on and applied SP1 (to ensure it is the same as the 1st Exchange 2010 server) Note it is still not hosting any user mailboxes. Today users on the 1st Exchange 2010 complained that emails were not being sent again. This time I managed to find them in the queue viewer for the 2nd Exchange 2010 server. Looking at the error it is saying the following: 451 4.4.0 Primary target ip responded with 451.5.7.3 cannot achieve exchange server authentication I did notice that there was a route statement missing on the 2nd Exchange 2010 server whic hwould have stopped it talking to the 2nd Exchange 2003 server. I have since added it and can connect via smtp to all the other Exchange servers. To make matters worse I rebooted the second server and now when I try to run the management console I get : "The following error occurred while attempting to connect to the specified exchange server dr.server.local The attempt to connect to http://dr.server.local/PowerShell using the Kerberos authentication failed: connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message : Access denied" So the main questions are why are the emails in a queue on the 2nd Exchange 2010 server and why aren't they being sent? Note if I turn off the 2nd Exchange 2010 server emails flow normally. The second question is what has happened to the EMC?

No Default SMTP Virtual Server Queues Displayed
While these queues display correctly n the Exchange 2003 System Manager on the Exchange server itself, on my client (actually a VMware virtual XP system, as my main box is Vista Pro x86) these queues do not display. There's just a line "Default SMTP Virtual Server" is a red "!" on the icon and the additional information to verify that the required services are running. Any ideas what I've got setup incorrectly in this virtual XP system or its host Vista system? The Windows firewall is disabled both on the host and guest systems. The System Manager displays these queues just fine on another machine in my department. Thanks.

E2k3 - queues piling up again, but in the other direction...
All, I've been working with PFs in my UK site still - I *think* I've got the problems solved, but I'm not sure. I went through the PF heirarchy on the 5.5 server in the site, and at the top level forced down (from the 5.5 Administrator on the 5.5 box) permissions and replicas (to the new e2k3 box) and at the same time rehomed all of the PFs to the new e2k3 box, and removed the replica from the 5.5 box. That seems to have worked. However, I'm now seeing the queues from the US e2k3 server piling up messages to the 5.5 servers in US, UK and AU offices, and the UK office has complained that emails aren't coming in from anywhere outside their office. I expect the AU office will be complaining as well, since I don't detect my test messages getting there. The AU office only has a 5.5 server, in its own local NT4 domain, the UK office has both 5.5 and e2k3, although the UK e2k3 box is in the corporate domain, and the UK 5.5 box is in the local UK NT4 domain. The US office also has both an e2k3 and 5.5 server, both in the same domain. I am working with eventid.net for interpreting what's in the event logs, but am not getting anywhere. For instance, I'm getting an LDAP error (eventid 8026, source MSADC, category LDAP Operations), but it's for the UK DC, not for the UK 5.5 box, and neither eventid.net and support.microsoft.com have anything to say about that. I'm about ready to call MSFT support and work through this with them, but want to hear any words of advice I can get here before I do that.

RE: Email sitting in the queues and NDR's being generated
Well doing a telnet helix.mgh.harvard.edu 25 at the dos prompt, does return a 220 message from a sendmail box. However it takes about 30 seconds for that message to come up. It seems way to long to me. I think your server may be timing out waiting for their server to respond with the 220 message. I have looked but cannot see if there is such a time out. Does anyone else know? You could also telnet to there server, and test the connection using the directions in Q153119 to see if the are receiving correctly. Just put something in the message asking the person to respond to your test message. I think it is a problem with their server as well, but will reserve judgment, until after you follow the Q153119 directions to see if you can even send to that box.

RE: Email sitting in the queues and NDR's being generated
5.5 does not revert to using A records if there is not an mx record present. There is not an mx record for helix.mgh.harvard.edu which is why the mail is sitting in the queue. -Original Message- From: Majetic, John RAME [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 10:47 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email sitting in the queues and NDR's being generated Well doing a telnet helix.mgh.harvard.edu 25 at the dos prompt, does return a 220 message from a sendmail box.

Re: E2k3 - queues piling up again, but in the other direction...
Ayup - that's why I've been up since about 1:30 this morning, trying to figure this out - I got a call from the UK office, wondering why they aren't getting theirs. I suppose I should have some breakfast, take a shower, and head into the office and the telephone. Kurt On 2/27/08, Michael B.

Without rolling up my sleeves and getting myself into your config - I'd recommend you call PSS. People get pissy when they don't get their e-mail! :-) Regards, Michael B. Smith MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 8:13 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: E2k3 - queues piling up again, but in the other direction... All, I've been working with PFs in my UK site still - I *think* I've got the problems solved, but I'm not sure. I went through the PF heirarchy on the 5.5 server in the site, and at the top level forced down (from the 5.5 Administrator on the 5.5 box) permissions and replicas (to the new e2k3 box) and at the same time rehomed all of the PFs to the new e2k3 box, and removed the replica from the 5.5 box. That seems to have worked. However, I'm now seeing the queues from the US e2k3 server piling up messages to the 5.5 servers in US, UK and AU offices, and the UK office has complained that emails aren't coming in from anywhere outside their office. I expect the AU office will be complaining as well, since I don't detect my test messages getting there. The AU office only has a 5.5 server, in its own local NT4 domain, the UK office has both 5.5 and e2k3, although the UK e2k3 box is in the corporate domain, and the UK 5.5 box is in the local UK NT4 domain. The US office also has both an e2k3 and 5.5 server, both in the same domain. I am working with eventid.net for interpreting what's in the event logs, but am not getting anywhere. For instance, I'm getting an LDAP error (eventid 8026, source MSADC, category LDAP Operations), but it's for the UK DC, not for the UK 5.5 box, and neither eventid.net and support.microsoft.com have anything to say about that. I'm about ready to call MSFT support and work through this with them, but want to hear any words of advice I can get here before I do that.

Re: E2k3 - queues piling up again, but in the other direction...
Spent nearly 3 hours on the phone with PSS today - I think we've got it fixed, but I'm going to let it sit for 24 hours before closing the ticket. Probably the most important thing we did was to delete a buncha connectors from both the 5.5 and 2k3 servers, recreated one of them on the US 2k3 server, then nuked a few thousand replication emails for the PF hierarchy and let it try again. We've got poor bandwidth at the UK office, which may have exacerbated the problem, but the site/group connector spaghetti that the E2k3 install planted was (it seemed to me, as I worked with the tech) the real culprit. So far, so good. Kurt On Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 5:18 AM, Michael B. Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Without rolling up my sleeves and getting myself into your config - I'd > recommend you call PSS.
