Hi;

All the messages I create are stuck in the Queue. The have a good to

Any idea what to check?

Check your logs.

Verify that nslookup from your mailserver can resolve MX records as
expected.

Telnet on port 25 to a sample remote MX from your mailserver.

Download and run Microsoft's SMTPDIAG in verbose mode.

Hi;

Thank you - I tried telnet (tried before I thought but must not have)
and it was blocked by the firewall from the web server only (very
weird firewall action).

Working now.

thanks - dave
