This really belongs on the IMail support list, but I don't subscribe to that...
On the weekend, I had a eureka moment and figured out why we had 25 minute delays on our inbound messages. It didn't happen often, or at least we didn't notice it often. Mail would just be stuck in IMail, not flowing inbound. Months ago now, we had a software upgrade on two different systems, and not at the same time. On our IMail gateway, we went from 7.x to 8.05, and on our internal mail server, we upgrade to the latest build of the antivirus gateway (Trend Micro InterScan VirusWall on Win32). The latest build of the antivirus gateway gave us hourly updates from the vendor instead of daily. What was happening was that the gateway shuts down every hour in order to check for a new update... not just *if* it gets and installs an update mind you, it shuts down every hour. The new IMail queue manager would notice this when sending an inbound message, and the "Failed Domain Skipping" would take effect, and inbound mail would then be held for my wait time, 30 minutes. The skip time minus the average time between my queue runs (10 minutes) is 30 - 5 = 25 minute delay on inbound mail. Case solved! I've disabled the "Failed Domain Skipping" feature for now. I think I'm happy instead with the the rest of my Queue Manager settings.
