    After a power outage and a database repair we can no longer send messages to inside or outside recipients. When you hit send it goes to the outbox for a moment then moves to sent items. A journal search shows no record of the message. No messages in the event viewer even though verbose logging is enabled in send connector. Have removed and reinstalled the transport hub. Incoming email works fine.

    Have also tried sending messages via OWA and Mobile devices. This issue is affecting all mail users.

    test-mailflow -targetemailaddress shows failure but no further information and no errors in the event logs.

    Small Biz Server 2008, Exchange 2007 SP1

    Have spent much time doing google searches to no avail.

    TIA-

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Please let me know:

    1. Whether any NDR messages are received regarding the issue.
    2. If you use OWA to send message, whether the message is also moved from Draft/Outbox folder to Sent Items folder or stuck in Draft/Outbox folder
    3. Whether you are able to locate the message by using Message Tracking Tool
    4. Whether any related error Event can be found on Application log regarding the issue
    5. Please ensure the Exchange Mail Submission service has been started on the Mailbox Server Role

    1. there are no NDR's
    2. System acts the same wether using OWA of full outlook client (mapi). The items appear in the outbox for a second the move to the sent itemsa like everything was ok.
    3. Using the message tracking tool I can find no evidence of any outbound emails since the database rebuild. I can find the previous to that but nothing afterward.
    4. There are no exchange related error messages the I can find except for the following which appears every 15 minutes.

    Hi Malgandalf,


    As we know that Edge transport server is responsible for all outgoing & incoming mails & also an Hub transport server handles mails by routing them to next hope i.e. another Hub Transport server, Edge transport server or Mailbox server.

    So, first check the status of Edge transport server & if you do not find any log or nothing just restore it through last backup performed.

    After ET server, as you have describe that HT server is reinstalled there is no need to check for log just check the status.

    Check the connectivity across firewall of Edge Transport server & Hub Transport server as Edge Transport server resides in DMZ.

    This will might help you a lot. This is not an solution but still you must do it.

    Thanks. Ajit D.

    Hi Mike,

     

    Thanks for your response.

     

    From your description, I understand that the message cannot be located by using Message Tracking log. In addition, in OWA, the message is also moved to sent item folder.

     

    Based on my knowledge, the message should be submitted to Submission Queue before the message is moved from Outbox to Sent Items folder. If the message has been submitted to Submission Queue, we should be able to locate the message through Message Tracking log.

     

    For your reference:

     

    21 Pfd   2009/07/08-10:32:34.979 2520 3908 StoreDriver MapiSubmit PFD ESD 25499 Submitting mailitem 1 to the submit queue

    22 Debug  2009/07/08-10:32:34.989 2520 3908 StoreDriver MapiSubmit Move message from outbox

     

    Therefore, it is strange that the message is moved to the Sent Items folder but cannot be located in message tracking log. I suggest you firstly check whether the message tracking has been enabled on the Exchange Server by using following command. By default, it should be enabled.

     

    Get-TransportServer servername |fl

     

    If the Message Tracking log has been enabled, I suggest you create a new Mailbox Store and create a test mailbox in the new mailbox store to check whether the issue can be reproduced.

     

    If the issue still occurs, I would like to explain that we need to capture trace to check when the issue occurs:

     

    1. Run Extra

    2. Select Trace Control

    3. Select Set manual trace tags

    4. Select all Trace Types

    5. Select following Components to Trace:

     

    StoreDriver: All trace tags

    Transport: General, Queuing, Resolver and Routing

     

    5. Click Start Tracing.

    6. Please send a message by using OWA. After the message is moved to Sent Items, please wait about 5 minutes and stop trace. Please send the trace file to me at v-mishen@microsoft.com for further research. Please also let me know the exact time you send the message. Please also let me know the sender and recipient name and email address.

     

    Mike

    After 3 weeks, we was able to fix it. The Exchange Transport service wasn't able to connect to Exchange Database service, because in the system32\drivers\etc\host file had the wrong IP / host included. The power outage was a coincidence.

    What should be in that Hosts file then? I only have:

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    ::1 localhost

    Many thanks for your time.
