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:

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you use Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) or NetBIOS names to configure the connectors.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, on both Exchange servers, configure the X.400 Connector to use the IP address of the remote MTA, and then restart both MTAs.
