Exchange 2013 just stopped receiving emails

I installed windows updates this morning and right after that, exchange now longer is receiving emails.  Outbound is fine.  Here's what I did so far.
1. Rebooted the server twice.
2. Individually restarted the transport and IS services.
3. I checked to make sure the databases are mounted.
4. I can log into the ECP just fine, all receive and outbound connectors are there.
5. Checked on mxtoolbox, and everything is fine, no DNS changes made.
6. I checked my firewall, and it's receiving the external emails and it's passing the email to exchange.

Short of uninstalling the windows updates, not sure what else to do.

now after trying to click on different options in the event viewer, I get this message

You are having issue with the transport services.  Are they up and running? Did you change any IP address?

I ran this test: https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com

And here's where it failed, and the error it gave me.

Additional Details
       
The server returned status code 451 - Error in processing. The server response was: Temporary local problem, please try again!

yes, the transport service is up and running, and no, I have not made any changes to any IP addresses on the server
I have restarted the transport service manually as well 3 or 4 times

looks like internal emails are not working either

Outgoing is working but incoming is not.  Sounds like BackPressure.

Check your drive space.  If you are running out of space, Exchange will protect itself by no allowing incoming emails.

Look in your Application Logs for 15004, 15005, 15006, and/or 15007.  If you see those then it's backpressure.  You'll need to free up space.

Also make sure all Exchange services are running.

so I can send external emails, but I can't send internal emails

Try rebooting the Exchange server.  Sometimes an update will be installed, but sort of hangs Exchange until a reboot is performed and the update can finish installing.
Hemil Aquino
Try this:

go to this folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data

You will see a folder called "Queue"
Rename that folder and reboot both transport services and see if it works

With that much free space it isn't backpressure then.  What version and patch level are you at?

Run "Get-ExchangeServer | Format-List Name, Edition, AdminDisplayVersion" in and Exchange PS command window.

You should be at least CU17 or CU18.

I think something is wrong in your transport services. I had this issue before.
Here is what you need to check

1- Are you using IMAP or POP3 services? if you do then check the binding of those services and make sure you have the right IP address.
2- Check your SMTP connectors see if you have different IP address.
3- Check the DNS as well, on the ECP panel go to Server>Server>Double click to name of the server DNS lookup and also IMAP and POP3.

But honestly you problem it's your transport rule

So I ran this command: Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn;
and that allowed me to actually type the get- commands

Why is this happening, as I ran across this at least 3 or 4 months ago, and it's been happening now for over a year now.

I'm running the standard edition

where do I check the bindings?
Hemil Aquino
Login to the ECP Servers>Name of the server>DNS lookup> and you will see the IP address binding the ports.
Do the same with IMAP and POP3

in ECP, under servers, after I edit my server, both pop3 and imap4 , have "all available IPv4 and IPv6" for TLS and SSL for the connections

in regards to the pop3 and imap4 sections, shouldn't those just be "all available IP addresses", as I think that's setting who has access to email the exchange server, right?

pop3
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.

sweet, after I added the DNS entries, emails are now coming in, but I had not seen that, and restarted the server, ouch  :(
Oh well, at least I believe it's fixed, I'll see what happens after the restart.
Hemil Aquino
As I said it's just dns binding.

It will be ok afterwards

yes, thanks, it's working now, but the problem is, all the emails from 6 am to 11:50 am are gone, how do I get all those emails people sent us to come in?
Hemil Aquino
Emails have a 1 hour TTL to be delivered. If it doesn't reach the destination will be dropped.

So you won't get those email.
Now what I can recommend to you is eat a third party email continuity and filter to hold your emails if it something happen to your exchange.

This company provides good service.

so besides they check for viruses, I suppose we can have them store our emails for days/weeks, before they are deleted, just in case something like this happens again?
All of life is about relationships, and EE has made a viirtual community a real community. It lifts everyone's boat

But I don't think management wants another company to have access to all our emails.
Hemil Aquino
All the incoming email will be filtered by spam, virus and whatnot.

You need to have your backup on point in your exchange in case people delete something you can recover it.
Dan
ASKER
we're already doing backup, through a datacenter.
