If your queue is full then it is keeping messages that it cannot send. You may need to set a message aging figure on items in the queue to make them die sooner.

It would be helpful to know a little bit more about your system. Is this a single-server, single-site system with an Internet connection?

If not, what type of connections do you have between sites? Also, what version of Exchange are you running?

On first glance, it sounds like a data circuit problem. I have one site that periodically starts dropping MTA connections although rpcping seems to indicate the circuit is good. I usually just call the telco and have them do intrusive testing and afterwards normal operation is restored.

So here it is..
we have one host exchange server connected to internet and my server only connected to that host server via IMC and Site connector.

I am using Exchange version 5.5 sp4 running Windows NT 4.0 sp6a.

I think you are right because this happen only the time that our 128 kbps DPL is sudden on and off. Right now that the line is restored it seems that the line is intermittent. I can ping our host server but it give me some request timeout.

Is the MTA very sensitive when it comes to connections.

For example that we prove that the problem is on the telco connections do we have some alternatives to make it run or use that line even if its intermittent?
