I really have two questions.

I am running Exchange 5.5 and Outlook 2000 on all my work stations. This morning I was able to send mail, now in the past hour all of a sudden any e-mail I write just sits in my out box and all of the computers in myoffice are having the same problem. Any idea what could cause this sudden problem? I have check the disk space for the log files and data base and I have plenty of room.

Another Network Admin suggested stopping and starting the Exchange Services and see what happens. I am trying to do that right now and here is my second problem. The services have been trying to stop for about 30 minutes now and still have not stopped. What should I do here?

Thanks a ton for your help,
Dean

Reboot? Did you try. Did you reboot other servers in your system before this problem started. I was having a problem like this when the Microsoft SMTP service was started on my proxy server. If you reboot the exchange server, then if the Exchange Internet Mail service doesn't start, then at least you will have an event log to look at and search on.

Try using the optimizer. Also, you may have run out of physical memory on your hard drive. Make sure exchange has enough physical memory to write files.
