SMTP messages staying in queue folder

Does anyone know why smtp messages stay in the queue folder?

Every time I send a message using my local smtp server I get no error, but I
never receive the message, and the messages just stay in the
inetpub\mailroot\queue folder

This happens with sending message through my ASP.NET program and just
manually entering smtp commands at the command prompt

Thanks,

You probably need to check your SMTP server. Firstly make sure it is running
and then check its permissions or whether it needs authentication. Sometime
if an address does not have an MX record, this can cause a problem.

You should also try deleteing the first messages as they may be blocking up
the queue. Also check that the e-mail address actually exists.

Just a few thoughts.

It sounds like your SMTP server is unable to deliver the messages. It could
be a problem with the DNS servers your machine is pointing to.
