James writes "What are possible causes for the sql to hang the enterprise manager when you test your mail confiruation?

When I try to test it it just locks up (enterprise manager stops running and I have to kill it with the task manager)

I had set this up in the test server with no problems but when I did the same things to the production server it doesn't work just sits there? I have followed the MS instructions I got from this wonderful site. Any Ideas?"

Are you testing the setup from the actual server? Or a workstation? If you do it from a workstation, there is the possiblity that the test creates an error on the server. The error creates a pop-up box which you don't see on the client and cannot respond to. This pop-up box is usually what hangs everything. HTH
