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. -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Dubyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 7:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: (Very) Delayed delivery Here's the headers - can anyone read what was going on between 12/6/02 and 1/16/03?

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? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
