My exchange server is not delivering mail to "name@msn.com" or "name@email.msn.com" Message originating from our exchange server are waiting to be delivered in the IMS outbound queue with "network error during host resolution" tagged to each waitingmessage. This is only happening for msgs to msn.com. What can we do to deliver these messages?

Do you have an internal DNS server that your exchange server is using? I have had this problem with other sites (and MSN), and when it got really chronic (40 or 50 queued) I would got to the cache on the DNS server and lookup the domain name that mail wont flow to and delete the cached information, and then let the DNS retrieve fresh information. This works about 50% of the time, the other is that the is truely some network congestion or blockage to that site.

Hope this helps.
