Q:
Our Default SMTP Connector (Virtual Server) is not connecting to remote server
SMTP, Exchange 2003, Network connectivity, Virtual Servers, Exchange 2003 SP1, Remote servers, SMTP connector, Clustered servers

We are using Exchange Server 2003 as our Mail Server with a Front end and two clustered Back-end Servers.From past few weeks our SMTP connector is getting disconneted and the external mails are getting stuck in the queue.When we check the queue information it says that "SMTP Connetor cannot connect to the remote server". Then once we restart the Exchange Front End then the queue gets free and the mails will get delivered.This is hapening randomly for every 2 or 3 days.
So anyone please help me solve this problem.

Hi,

I have checked the Application and Event logs and i have already installed and all the patches and latest updates but still the problem continues.
Is this is related to the hardware performence or any false SMTP connector issues?

You say you checked the event logs, but you did not say if there were in fact errors regarding this issue in there. If there are, please post the exact errors.
