I'm sorry to take so long to reply here. I tried a couple of times with an
attachment but perhaps they are not allowed on the board. So I will try
typing in the essence of the screen shot from Message Tracking.
First though, to answer your question, of course I have the queues cleared
now,and have been all day, but it seems to me that some were scheduled, some
were queued, and some were retry if those statuses sound right.
The following is the information from a screen shot from message tracking
for one of the stuck the messages that was in one of the queues. They just
seem to keep trying but nothing happens.

5/5/2008 11:42 PM SMTP: Non-Delivered Report (NDR) Generated
I believe that the NDR at the end might have been my doing because that is
about the time I was working on things. But I had other messages in
different queues that had just as long or longer message tracking entries
just like this one.
There was one however that had a rather strange last line. After the
"Message Routed and Queued for Remote Deliver" entry, the next line was the
standard "Started Outbound Transfer of Message", but the following line
looked a bit corrupt: "Message transfered to
*************2*******************........" rather than listing the mail
server"
If there is something that could be more useful let me know and I will post
it. Tomorrow I hope I have time to look at the SMTP logs for those days
although I haven't really got the jist of how to read everything in them.
Again, thanks.
