Exchange 2003 Mail Stuck in queue

Hi all

Quite often our Exchange 2003 server holds mail in the queue, the clients using outlook show a status of offline,

I then restart the Exchange services and force retry on the queue and everything is resolved.

This is happening two or three times a week now can anybody assist?

Is Exchange itself having connectivity issues? Can it see a DC and a GC ok?

Does it have plenty of disk space?
