hi

 

sorry i took so long to get back to everyone, i did have this one sorted, then it fellover again today.

 

To originally sort it i had to recreate the system mailbox{GUID}. This then made all the 'QUEUES' connect and show the green tick.

 

Then today the 'messages awaiting directory lookup' queue will not connect, all the rest including the SMTP internet mail connector (to countys relay) is connected.

 

The system mailbox is still present and have rebooted many times.

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong

 

thank you
