The logfile of Servers Alive shows when the external check is running and at that time the mail is send.
To see why it takes longer you need to have access to the logfiles of the smpt/pop3 server.

It is not an exchange server on either side.  I do not have access to the SMTP logs on the sending server.  I send a mail from the outside mail server from my outlook client and from salive, should be the same procedure.   The outside mail server receives it and sends it to my server.

SMTP2POP3 uses it's own SMTP and POP3 protocols, it will connect to an SMTP server to send the mail.

Could it be that the Outlook client is using an Exchange server?

Check within the log of the SMTP server at what time the mail is send and compare that to the time it's received on the POP3 part.

I am seeing slow mail transport with the smtp2pop3 checker.   If I send an email form the account which Salive uses using my Outlook mail client, and check the box that the mail was sent to it shows up virtually immediately.   I have the SMTP2POP3 checker checking on every other cycle (send one cycle receive two cycles later) and it still does not receive the mail.  I monitor the box during this period and indeed the mail does not show up until approximately 3 minutes from when it was sent (just after the SAlive cycle runs).   Any idea why it would take longer to get a mail sent form Salive than from my Oulook client?   Does it not send the mail immediately?  Does Salive just use standard telnet on port 25 to send the mail?  Does the SMTP2POP3 check use its own SMTP engine?
