Hi, I am have been having some problems with an SBS2003 server over the last few days. The server is running Exchange and incoming emails are taking 30 to 60 mins to be delivered. Internal email comes through straight away. Example of the Issue:
I send a test email to one of our users from my hotmail account at 16.06 and it is reaches the hosts webmail instantly.
I then log on to the server and using the default POP3 connector, manually pull the mail in. The email then disappears from the webmail instantly.
The email then disappears from view, nothing in the server email queues and nothing in the server logs.
The email then shows up at 16.30 in the users inbox and the entries appear in the log for that email. I have no idea whats happening in the meantime.
The AV we use is sophos which is disabled for now and we have disabled the Spam filters for exchange and this is the only server in the organisation.
Does anyone have any ideas about where to go with this ? Pulling my hair out so any help would be appreciated. :)
I have pasted the server log entry and email header below for the email called EMAILTESTTIME (the log is 1 hour behind but I understand this is normal die to day light savings time ?)
