Question : Exchange Stop Recieving email

I am at a lose.  Our exchange admin has left and the box has simply stopped recieving email.  I can send email... however, cannot recieve.  I have checked the services and they look good.  The only thing I see that looks like it is down is the virtual smtp.  However, send mail is fine.. HELP!

Answer : Exchange Stop Recieving email

Can you telnet to the Exchange server on port 25 and perform a test message via telnet? You will need to type these from a command prompt:

telnet exchangeserver 25
helo
mail from: [email protected]
rcpt to: [email protected]
data
this is a test
.

Also, I'm certain the Virtual SMTP Server must be running (you mentioned it's down). Finally - any errors or warnings in the event logs on the server?
