What is wrong with my Distributor

Hi all

First of all i would like to say that i am a newbie in SSNS,
For some reason i am stuck with a pre-build SSNS application that
doesn't seem to work.

After hours (days) of struggle i have managed to make it produce
notifications
(i can see data in both NSMyNotificationClassNotificationBatches1 and
NSMyNotificationClassClassNotifications)

Furthermore, i have tied the notifications to an SMTP channel which i
have defined as:

<DeliveryChannel>
<DeliveryChannelName>SMTPChannel</DeliveryChannelName>
<ProtocolName>SMTP</ProtocolName>
<Arguments>
<Argument>
<Name>smtpserver</Name>
<Value>10.1.212.212</Value>
</Argument>
<Argument>
<Name>bodyencoding</Name>
<Value>utf-8</Value>
</Argument>
</Arguments>
</DeliveryChannel>

This is the Distributor Data i have declared in the ADF file:

<Distributor>
<SystemName>ComputerName</SystemName>
<ThreadPoolSize>3</ThreadPoolSize>
<QuantumDuration>PT1M</QuantumDuration>
</Distributor>
</Distributors>


Everything was supposed to be working 6 months ago that this project
was finished.
So the Question is... why i am not getting any emails ?

The SMTP Server seems to be working fine (i used it to send some test
emails through outlook)
The NS$Notification Service is running under administrator privileges.

Any thought on would should i check?
Is there a hidden layer of something between the transaction tables
and the distributor?

I found the answer...
It is not a distributor issue after all.
I checked the logs of the SMTP Server and found the following errors:

"Message delivery to the remote domain 'xxxxxx failed for the
following reason: The remote server did not respond to a connection
attempt."
