I would go to one of the problem users and try sending email with their client as you watch the maillog from a ssh window. Outlook and Outlook express send mail a bit differently so you will need to know which client they are using. Also, if sending mail was working, and just stopped, I'd suspect some microsoft patch as the culprit. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
