Exchange outgoing queue

Hi
I have comeup with major problem suddenly where my outgoing queues of smtp
in exchange 2000 sp3 getting filled up with massages. when client of the
exchange (Outlook 2003)sends a mail to himself it will come to the queue and
takes hours to recieve or rather not recieved. All services of the exchange
server are runnig even I restarted server several times. I have two catelog
server which are running on seperate two domain controllers. Is this happens
becuase of a global catalog failure or some other issue? Also when I tried
out using OWA it is never resolving address book names after checking, but
all the globle address lists are displaying even in OWA.

please help some one to sort out this issue ASAP

Thank You

First, are the messages in your Message Queues legitimate mail or NDR's of a
Spammers harvesting attack? If they are spammers attack then your message
queues are getting bogged down. Do you have any Antispam protection in
place?

Yes I have spam gaurd installed and there arn't any spam queues getting
listed. Becuase my domain is a child domain wich route mails trough bridge
head server at the head office. My concern is even local routing mails
getting queued suddenly without any reason.
