I seem
to have some messages getting delayed in my Exchange 2000 Servers.
Looking at message tracking for one message, there is about an 8 hour gap
between "SMTP: Message Submitted to Categorizer" and "SMTP: Started Outbound
Transfer of Message" on the server the message was sent from. The only thing I
can think of that might be out of the ordinary is that we use the "Send all
unresolvable mail to" field as we have Sendmail alias lists that are in the same
SMTP domain as the Exchange, so we need a way for the messages to get
forwarded to Sendmail. These seem to be the messages that are getting
delayed.
There
could be delays with messages sent out to the Internet but It's less likely that
I'd hear about those. I noticed the outbound SMTP queue always stays around 45
or so messages. Does this sound about right for an E2k server with
800 users on it?
Perhaps someone could point me in the right
direction?
The
Environment: 4 Win2kAdvSrv-SP2 E2k-SP1 servers at various locations,
one is set up as the front-end, behind a Sendmail server.
