BUG #: 66337 (Windows NT)
SYMPTOMS
If SQLMail is set up with the Exchange client to use a Microsoft Mail Post Office, Compuserve Mail or Internet Mail, outgoing messages will be blocked in the Personal Message Store's Outbox and no incoming messages will be received.

WORKAROUND
There are two workarounds for this issue depending on the mail source:
- Install Microsoft Exchange Server and set up SQLMail with it, following the instructions in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Then have Microsoft Exchange Server forward the mail to the appropriate destination.
