Hello,

I have an Exchange Server 5.5 with SP4. This problems was experienced with my Exchange 5.0 version, too and still I can find a solution.

Today we received a message from a hotmail user. The message was received by our Exchange in 5 of June 2001.

Any ideas what might have caused the message to remain in queue for so long time?

Yesterday our Exchange crashed and probably some of the deferred messages flags were RESET.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You very well might have a corrupted MTA queue that was brought over when you migrated from 5.0 to 5.5

Run the MTACHECK utility on all of your MTAs. This will check for and repair any problematic Queues.

mtacheck /v /f mtacheck.log

See Technet article Q163326 on how to use and when to run.

Good luck.
