Question

We recently upgraded from Exchange 2013 CU6 to CU15. After upgrade users are unable to send emails to internet. They are able to receive emails. Internal mail flow is working fine. We are getting the following errors in event viewer

  • Performed message tracking and found the error. "Stage:CommitMailItem, SmtpResponse:441 4.4.1 Error encountered while communicating with primary target IP address: "Failed to connect.

The last endpoint attempted was 192.168.46.1:2525" 

I was not able to find any helpful articles to fix the issue. Please advice.

I managed to fix the issue. I set the ServerComponentState to inactive and then Set it active issue was fixed. it was a strange issue.

Followed the below Steps:-

Get-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer | % { Set-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer -Requester Functional -Component $_.Component -State InActive }

Get-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer | % { Set-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer -Requester HealthApi -Component $_.Component -State InActive }

Get-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer | % { Set-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer -Requester Maintenance -Component $_.Component -State InActive }

 

# Restarted Microsoft Exchange Active directory Topology Service.

 

Get-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer | % { Set-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer -Requester Functional -Component $_.Component -State Active }

Get-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer | % { Set-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer -Requester HealthApi -Component $_.Component -State Active }

Get-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer | % { Set-ServerComponentState  ExchangeServer -Requester Maintenance -Component $_.Component -State Active }

 

# Restarted Microsoft Exchange Active directory Topology Service.

# Issue Resolved.

Are you smarthosting from the send connector or sending out directly to the internet via DNS?

What is the IP? 192.168.46.1:2525

It looks the issue is when it tries to send the message to another mailbox server, not out to the internet.
