Nizar, We had a similar issue with 5.5, the problem we had was that email would not flow one way unless the remote server initiated the email transfer (IE had a email to send), can you confirm if you have the same situ? if so it is probably a DNS issue for one of the servers, what OS are they on?

There is one Exchange server 5.5 in each site, and they are connected through a site connector. This setup has been working for several years now. Last week, something weird started to happen, where email flow between the two servers is getting delayed. Messages destined to the other site build up in the MTA, and after several hours, the messages are all delivered in one bulk. As far as I know, when using a site connector, email flow is not scheduled, and takes place immediately when a message is sent from a site to another. I also noticed that if I stop the MTA service and restart it, all queued messages are delivered, and after this is done, new messages would be queued again. To temporarily overcome this issue, I have scheduled the MTA to stop and start every half-hour. I tried re-applying Exchange 5.5 sp4, and I also applied a couple of post-sp4 fixes, but the problem was not solved. Any idea on how to deal with this issue?
