Admission: I'm entirely too lazy to go look up the random odd event ID or guestimate what "too long"[1] means. It there any chance you (the collective you) could include the Event ID source and description in addition to the number? And that you could provide an example of sent/ received times which constitute a "too long" delivery time.
[1] When I worked at $vbc we initially had an MS Mail PO config which routinely resulted in >8 hour delivery times of mail from the US to Indonesia. If a user called and said it'd been six hours and the mail wasn't delivered, we didn't troubleshoot it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bennett, Joshua [mailto:jbennett@;cotelligent.com] > Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 8:55 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > > Hello all, > > I have an incredibly annoying situation going on that I can't seem to get > a > grip on.
