SMTP Inbound message is Transferred from the Internet Mail Service at 12:17 on Server1. Server1 expands Distribution list and other recipients. 2 messages are received from Server1 in the Server 2 MTA at 5:46 AM. There was a 5 hour gap between the time received and delivered. This is an Exchange 5.5 sp4 installation running on NT 4.0 sp6. Server 1 is OWA/IMC sever with 1gb of ram, dual 733 processors. Server 2 is dual 733 processors with 500 mb of ram an is the mailbox/public folder server. Server 2 is running Scan Mail 3.51 and Server 1 doesn't run Scan Mail. Open to suggestions on where to start trouble shooting this one.
