Symptoms

When two Exchange Server computers are connected with an X.400 Connector, mail may queue up in both X.400 queues and not flow in either direction. If the message transfer agent (MTA) becomes backed up while it is trying to deliver messages, and the transport connection is lost, the following error messages may appear in the Windows NT Event Viewer Application log:
