AV or content filtering, maybe?

Subject: Unexpected outgoing mail delay


All,

MS Windows 2000 SP4. MS Exchange 2003 SP2. MS Outlook XP/2003.

I rebooted an Exchange server at 16:16 21st November and a number of
people contacted me saying that external mail they sent on the 7th
November was either only just delivered or they only just received and
NDR!

I have used message tracking to confirm this. I don't understand why the
mail didn't time out as per my settings or the user was not notified of
the delay. I don't remember seeing any of this mail in a queue either,
where has it been?

My settings -

First retry interval: 10
Second Retry interval: 10
Third retry interval: 10
Subsequent retry interval: 20

Delay notification: 6 hours
Expiration timeout: 3 days

Message tracking for one of the delayed messages -

I have also checked the event viewer and there is nothing of note in
there.

I would be grateful of any pointers on my finding further information of
what went wrong and also how to avoid this happening in future.

TIA

-Mark
