Hi all, been noticing a strange phenomenon with our e-mail over the last
couple of months. We run Exchange 2003 SP1 as part of SBS Premium. Using
ISA2000 as our firewall to the Internet. When we send e-mail it is taking an
abnormally long time to be delivered (sometimes hours) externally and
internally. I have checked our server (logs, settings, etc...) and nothing
appears out of sorts. I have checked with our ISP and DNS host (SBC) and
they say nothing is wrong with our domain name records. Any clues or ideas?
It is really frustrating especially if someone is waiting on an e-mail and
we have to resend it via another account other than our office account. TIA.

Yes I have run the ICEIW and the server has two nics. This is fairly new
issue on a system that was running fine since October 2003.

I am not receiving any errors/warnings in the Event logs, it's baffling
really.

Have you definately confirmed your are not being a relay ?

If you are using smart host to send mail try swapping to DNS or vice
versa... this will at least help discount one external problem
