Most perceived problems have simple solutions.  One of the bad things about a forum 
with this many participants, is that the frequency that we see complex or unusual 
problems is sufficiently high that it tends to make us go looking for complexities a 
little too quickly at times.

So, are there any really easy ways to queue a message and have its delivery delayed by 
several weeks?  First let me point out that there was a holiday break in there when 
lots of people take vacations and turn things off.  Ah, let me count the ways . . .

generated off line (there are many variations on this theme)
server died and was restored
server was off-line
ISP link went down
system upgrade and not everything got turned back on right away

I'll bet someone else can add to this list.

Look at the headers of the message.

I just received an email from a customer saying she was worried about 
emails not arriving.  This was sent on 12/6 and just arrived today - 
1/16. 

They have an Exchange 2000 SP3 box forwarding to a Trend InterScan Virus

Wall which is using DNS to send emails.  I know both boxes have the 
correct time on them so I'm stumped how this message could have bounced 
around so long. 

Any ideas?
