Hi everybody,

      I have this problem with e-mail arriving to the destination in 1-2
hours.
      What I've done so far ...
          Checked the "event viewer" for errors, very few and nothing out of
ordinary.
          Checked the counters in "performance console", everything seems
fine.
          Cleaned the mail boxes.
          Cleaned the queues and queue folder.
          Defragmented mailbox and public folder store.
      And...no results:( ...
      I have 1 exchange sever ( 2003) and around 60 users.
      Any ideeas?....

      Thank you!

                                               Florin

Which destination? To internal users from the outside or vice versa?

Check the internet headers of the message. See which hop its hanging
on.
If its stuck in your Queues, then let us know which one and if so,
also crank up diags in ESM on the MSExchangeTransport and/or SMTP
logging.

If to external users, have them send you the headers of the message or
their SMTP logs to prove that its on your end.

Where /is/ this destination, inside or outside?

No problems with internal email. The problem is with sending and receiving
email from outside.

Can you post the headers so we can see where it gets hung up?
