what is the process for delivering email from Linux to exchange . is it a push ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mitul Zaveri Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 7:12 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: FW: SMTP Queue weird Problem Hi: We currently have MX server before the Exchange Server which is a Linux Box and does the job of Spam and virus cleaning before transferring to the Exchange Server. We have port 25 open on the firewall of the Exchange Server as well. The incidence has not just happened for one or 2 mails but atleast 20-25 mails spread across the month of Feb and March. However the strange part is that it has not affected all the old mails but just a few. To share some more information some mails were delivered twice while others were only delivered on the restart of the server. Also in couple of cases the mails have reached 2 recipients but failed to reach the third which only received on the rebooting of the server. Thanks & Regards Mitul Zaveri ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave stevens Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 3:39 PM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: FW: SMTP Queue weird Problem A key question to ask. Do you have an smtp relay between your excnahge server and your firewall.? If so you might have encountered a transfer error, But I am inclinded to think that time was just a mail which got looped and stuck in the queue. I have senn this happen before were malformed mails get stuck in smtp queue, and get flushed on restart of server.

I have another Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition server configured as Active Directory Server. I recently faced a strange issue whereby one of my user has send a few mails in the month of March 2007 which just got delivered yesterday after I rebooted the server after applying Windows Critical patches. However the strange part is when I check for the message in the Tracking Centre it showed that it was submitted to the SMTP Queue in March immediately when the message was sent and staying there until it got flushed and delivered on rebooting the server. This happened with quite a few messages in March 2007. It is strange in nature as it stayed in the SMTP queue without even attempting to make a SMTP connection. I am failing to understand as how can this happen. Can anyone help us troubleshoot the same.
