Mail from just 2 domains stuck in Queue.
Hi All,
This just started on the 3rd of November. 2 Domains we have been sending email to back and forth with no problems all of a sudden are not getting there.
Users get the following error message:
"Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified. Â Please retry or contact your administrator."
I have checked our reverse dns and it is ok. We are not blacklisted from what I can see and we are not an open-relay. The emails just stay in the queue. I have forced the connection and that seems to work but shortly turns out not to have worked.
We are using ISA 2004 on the SBS Server with an internal and external interface on the SBS Server. As an attempt to fix this I changed the Ip address on the SMTP Virtual Server from All Unassigned to the internal IP of the server thinking that may help. It has not. A shot in the dark I know. It is back to All Unassigned.
I'm not sure where to go at this point other than to contact the other domains and see if they are stealth blocking us.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I tried this on the 1st domain and it came up that they are blocking us. It may be a reverse dns issue as that was what they were blocking. It said it was blocked using Barracuda Reputation.
The 2nd domain I was able to connect to and begin a message with no errors. I did get a 354 start mail input message.
I added a message and was unsure to how to end the message. I ended with <CRLF>.<CRLF>. Again was not sure if I should type that in.
I did this all on the Exchange server and no problems were detected.
