Answer 1

Dear all,

We fixed the issue.

In fact the problem was located in the second exchange server.
The disk was full and we had to expend it.

Then all the queue started to decrease automatically

Answer 4

Hi @Lucas Vorms ,

As suggested by Andy, from the output of the Get-Queue command, it seems that the issue is related to the backlog in the delivery queue to journal db. If the message count in the queue doesn't tend to decrease, I'd recommend giving it a go by restarting the Transport Service and see how it goes.
In case the issue persists, you can have a look at the Queue Viewer to see if there's any error message for the messages stuck in the queue. It's also suggested to check the Event Viewer for potentially relevant event logs.
