Edition with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Ent.. Edition I configure the exchange server to IMS. Now I can send email locally to any domain, and I can receive from them and from outside The problem I cannot send out side email, it will stay in the queue and will send this : YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE. Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed. and it will not deliver the email to outside hosts .. I configure the SMTP virtual Server to have the smart host not in the SMTP connector ..
