This mirrored drive survived the main drive crash (2 drive\ raid 5 ), I am trying to reuse the drive to get my email flowing again, I have connected it as an IDE drive and can see a complete info store and all my mailboxes are live...all client outlook connect to the sever and update folders...but only to the morning of the crash and no email is flowing, NDR's are hitting for both ways...I have used Exchage System Manager\Admin Groups\First Admin Group\Servers\Server2\Protocols and everything looks right...what could I be missing? I suspect and MTA problem but do not know how to fix it...Jimjimflyboy@hotmail.com

Hi,Are there any events logged in the event log ?Regards,Johanblog: www.johanveldhuis.nl

Hi,What's the exacterror informationof the NDR? Whether the sending and receiving email was working internally?Moreove, was any error message received in the event log as Johan said? And which the queue did the message hang?ThanksAllen

Do you have exchange 5.5?.. and i understand the messages are getting queued up in MTA queue rather then SMTP Queue.. ??? if i am correct then you need to follow the following KB'sHow to Replay DAT Files After an MTA Database Wipe / Exchange Server 2003http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125054(EXCHG.65).aspxHow to Wipe the MTA Database / Exchange Server 2003http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997452(EXCHG.65).aspxHow to remove and to reinstall IIS on a computer that is running Exchange Serverhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;320202Arun Kumar | MCSE - 2K3 + Messaging | ITIL-F V3
