Winows 2000, SP4, IIS5.0, Norton AVCE 7.6, Brightmail 5.5 AntiSpam.
Messages build up in queue directory, delivery becomes slow and eventually
delivery to one of my domains stops altogehter.  I have 45 Domains configure
d
under the Virtual Server.  All Domains are configured to forward mail to
Smart Host by [IP address].  NAVCE 7.6 has exclusions for Inetpub\mailro
ot
and all sub-directories.  Question:  Why does mail build up in queue and nve
r
expire and why does delivery to ONE domain seem to fail after a period of
time?  So far the only way I know to fix this is to recycle SMTP several
times until queued mail is delivered.  After a couple of weeks the same thin
g
happens all over again.  Any Suggestions?  Microsoft's classic response is t
o
uninstall 3rd party apps.  Well, If I uninstall 3rd party apps I have no use
for the MS SMTP relay!!

Neil,

Looks like a DNS problem with the domain that keeps getting queued. Go
to http://aboutmydns.com and run the quick test against that domain
