Cannot send emails from Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server

I am in the process of setting up a new Ex2007 enviornment to replace our Ex2003 envirnoment. I have 1 Hub Transport/CAS server and 2 mailbolx servers, with SCR setup between them.

When I try send email from a mailbox on the Ex2007 mailbox server, the emails wait in the Outbox and are never delivered. If cached exchange mode is on they appear to be sent, as the email goes into 'Sent items' but again it is never delivered.

This issue occurs if email is external or internal or even on the same Exchange server. It would appear for some reason the Ex2007 server is not accepting messages from the client, as there is no evidence of the email in either the mailbox server nor hub transport servers tracking logs.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Muzzi: I had discovered Windows FW was turned on, it had been setup to allow the connections but was obviously causing trouble. I do intend to give you the points though.

I would like to ask though: Is there a better way to track a communication issues like this? On Ex2003 it would be very easy to see emails queuing up on a BE server but as SMTP/Hub Transport is not installed on the mailbox servers there is no evidence of an issue like this at all server-side (apart from 10009 error) and the only evidence client-side is that an email remains in the outbox if cached-ex mode is turned off. Is it preferable to install Hub Ttansport on the Mailbox servers to allow troubleshooting? Is there any way to view the 'outgoing email queue' on a mailbox server?

Thanks.

Is there a way to view the queue viewer on a mailbox server? For instance the local delivery queue. In Ex2003, when a mailbox move was taking place, emails sent to the mailbox would be seen in the local delivery queue on Ex2003, now there would appear to be no straight forward way of tracking where the message is.

I know, I am looking for a way to track messages that are in the local delivery queue on a mailbox server. This is in order to track messages during a mailbox move for instance, or when otherwise the mailbox is offline.
