Exchange Server 2010 - Incoming email stuck in Edge server:

I have spent about 48 hours troubleshooting this too find that my fix was so simple but during my investigation i have found that there many issues to cause this so i would put together a nice fix for all..

The easiest way too start is too delete Edge subscription ,  Send Connectors , and receive connectors (except the default-  make sure default has anynomous checked).

After Doing this restart the transport service

Then you must run the New-EdgeSubscription cmdlet on both the Edge Transport server and the Hub Transport server to complete the Edge Subscription process.

The following code example shows how to use the New-EdgeSubscription cmdlet on the Edge Transport server to create the Edge Subscription file. Transfer the resulting file to the Hub Transport server, and then run the command in the second example on the Hub Transport server to import the Edge Subscription file and to subscribe the Edge Transport server to the specified Active Directory site.

New-EdgeSubscription -FileName "c:\EdgeServerSubscription.xml" New-EdgeSubscription -FileName "c:\EdgeServerSubscription.xml" -site "Default-First-Site-Name"

And create a new edge subscription on the HUB server  with that c:\EdgeServerSubscription.xml  File

Then open the EdgeSync to inbound click on network and change the smart host too the ip address of the hub server.   (--  )tells too look in active directory and in my case,   active directory had old records from other servers as well that no longer excist.. 

Then open command  shell and type = Start-EdgeSynchronization

Then type Test-EdgeSynchronization

Restart the transport service on on hub server and ADAM_MSExchange on the EDGE Server

If mail isnt working now then make sure both hub and transport can ping each other by fully qualified domain names

and also make sure that the hub server can contact the edge server on the following port:

 Make sure you create a recieve connector for the Edge Server
