Hi Lee,

Sorry just got my mailtraq mail server back up, hence the same one I
sent to you has been sent to group....

To confirm what I had : -

Look in exchange manager\server\protocols\smtp\default smpt virtual
server\current sessions\queues

If you have loads of unknown in the list then you have the same problem
I had.............

Regards

Steve

It sounds like you are relaying, either because of bad configuration or
passwords have been compromised.
