SBS 2003 - messages stuck in queue
I've just finished setting up exchange on an SBS 2003 server which had been running pop3 accounts for many years because of a cynical mistrust of exchange. Anyway the cynic has left and I'm trying to make the transition as painless as possible.
I've just checked and there are 3 very small outbound messages stuck in the SMTP queue - two are just read receipts and 13 inward in the local delivery queue which only total 2Mb.
Are there any patches I need to load or I am missing something obvious.
Clicking force does nothing.
Thanks for any ideas.

Ah, falling at the first hurdle.
I forgot to email reverse.dns@btbroadbandoff ice.com to make the entry.
It's sent now, is there any workaround while I wait for them to make the change?

That accounts for the outbound, what could be causing the queue in the inbound. OK for around 10 working hours now getting stuck in the queue for the last 3 hours.

ThanksI'll try that. Wiith regard to the incoming emails I seem to have exceeded the 16Gb limit and currently upgrading to SP1.

Sorry should have read upgraing from SP1 to SP2.
Ah - that's not so good - but natively, you will have 2Gb more space.
Once you have SP2 - you can play with the registry to increase the limit to 75Gb:

Don't go the full whack - increase to something like 32Gb to start and then monitor it to make sure people don't abuse the system.
