Subject: Delayed Email--Possible Reasons?


> Hi Guys,
>
> A user received an email this morning (timed at 3am) that had a sent date
> (date viewable when he opened it up) of last Sunday at 9am or so.  What
are
> the possibilities for this?
>
> 1. Got "stuck in the Internet" for some reason as the sending mailserver
> could not contact ours, and finally did this morning on a retry.
>
> 2. Got "stuck in the IMS queue" and for some reason popped out this
morning.
> At neither of these times was there anything going on with our Exchange
> Server (5.5, Sp4 on NT4), with the exception of a possible backup last
night
> (I'm not sure if it was hitting the IS at the time).
>
> 3. Something else?
>
> #1 is pretty unlikely, we trade emails back & forth with this particular
> domain a lot.  #2 is possible, but I'd like to know why.

> Thanks
