I have been getting this above error on my mail server from last
4-5 days. I am getting complaints from end users that the users can't
send any mails using Outlook but I did check with my test user I can
send mail by using webmail.
The Failed MX lookup Errors also getting in my logs the error detail given bellow.

I tried stopping and starting msg service using stop-msg and start-msg to sort out this above problem but no result. :(
When I do check the tcp_local queue it has been growing every day as well the tcp_notification queue also.

This queues are increasing day by day.
One more thing is that I cant see a service/channel called CONVERSION running on my server when i do use this command.
ps -aef | grep conversion
root 6144 6000 0 11:14:28 pts/1 0:00 grep conversion
When i try to start it using imsimta qm utility, output shows as
qm.maint>; start conversion
QM-I-STARTED, channel was not stopped
qm.maint>;
Later I stopped and started conversion channel
qm.maint>; stop conversion
QM-I-STOPPED, channel stopped
qm.maint>; start conversion
QM-I-STARTED, channel started
qm.maint>;
I can see that on other servers the conversion channel is running and few msges are in queue. I do have other servers which running the same messaging server. But I am not getting why don't on this server. Where both servers having the same configuration.
Please, help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks in advance....
