Exchange 2003 SMTP Queue Stuck???

[BKGarry]

Ok i am at my wits end at the minute,

 

I need big time help,

 

Mid Moving mailboxes from one Exchange 2k3 server to another.

 

The problem is that it is saying the SMTP for the new server is active but every mailbox message sent between them is queued from old to new but the new to the old works fine.

 

Has anyone got any ideas.

 

All the relay parts on the SMTP on the New server is set to allow the old one to relay and it is also in the same administrative group

Something similar happened to me and it turned out that I had configured the Smarthost setting on the old Exchange server (instead of configuring an SMTP connector!). This meant that instead of making SMTP connections to the new server, it went straight to the ISP SMTP relay which, of course, could not locate the new Exchange server. I took the Smarthost setting out and off it went.
