the delayed messages come from the same two senders. according to the recipient, the delays are intermittent. however, that assertion may be an artifact since only some of the messages are time sensitive and past messages have been deleted so I can't check. delays on non-time sensitive messages may not be not be noticed. testing to my internet mail account and to these two senders reveals no delays today. as with so many problems they don't occur when i'm watching. is there an incoming que? does the event log show connections made to smtp servers only on outgoing mail?

Chinese proverb -----Original Message----- From: Dave Pollak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 10:54 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Long Delays between send and receive Hello, I'm a very very very part-time Exchange 5.5 administrator. One of my users complains periodically that emails sent to her have very long delays between the send time and receipt - 5 to 7 hours in some cases (confirmed by comparing send and received times). She assures me that the problem is here and she uses Outlook everyday so she must be correct. Anyway, she gets other messages during the delay from other senders. I see no errors in Event Viewer @ various logging levels and i can see when a connection is made to the remote smtp server. There are no messages waiting here. I don't notice any long delays elsewhere and messages sent to and from my hotmail account take minutes. It seems to me that the delays are consistently with the same senders but I can't confirm that I don't know where to begin troubleshooting this problem. Have read the O'Reilly Exchange Admin book from cover to cover (well, a couple of chapters anyway) and have poked about through the MS knowledge base. Did I mention that I'm a part-time Exchange Administrator i.e. know nothing?
