Exchange 2016: Internal mail delivery fails

Question
-
Hi experts,
Exchange 2016 CU10 fresh install on Windows Server 2012 R2.
No AV installed. Firewall disabled. No external connectivity for now. It is isolated.
Internal mail delivery fails. All emails are stuck in poison queue. I am stumped. It is just a single sever.
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Test-MailflowRunspaceId : a29f0b31-84dc-467d-9799-daf04fc465a2

Hi tamangketa,
To narrow down this issue, I have some things want to confirm with you:
1. Do you have other Exchange server in your environment?
2. After installing Exchange, have you restarted your server?
By the way, from this article, we can know: The messages may be genuinely harmful in their content and format, or the messages might have been the victims of a poorly written transport agent or a software bug that crashed the Exchange server while it was processing the otherwise valid messages.
So, I also want to confirm with you: how do you send this mail? If you send this mail from OWA, whether this issue occur?
Regards,
Kyle Xu
