Hello, I have setup an Exch 2003 front-end server that is also configured to receive/send internet e.mail on a multi-homed setup. When I telnet out on port 25 to various mx servers, I can see the SMTP banner, but for some reason, the queue is building up of mail that's not being sent out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lets work out this problem basis your response
