Hybrid Exchange TLS

swapped a cert but messages still stuck in the queue? probably your send connector is being a bitch and holding onto the old cert. 

$cert = Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint XXXXXX
$tlscertificatename = "<i>$($cert.Issuer)<s>$($cert.Subject)"

To Replace Send Connector –

Set-SendConnector "Outbound to Office 365" -TlsCertificateName $tlscertificatename

To Replace Receive Connector –

Set-ReceiveConnector "EXCH1\Default Frontend EXCH1" -TlsCertificateName $tlscertificatename

if you don’t update receive connector you can see hybrid mail flow stops with TLS error
