RE: SMTP delay



Hi Rob,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

From your description, I know that your outbound e-mails are delayed. If
that's not right, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research on this issue, please take the following steps to see
if the problem can be resolved:

Step 1: First please rerun the CEICW wizard. This helps to configure the
network and e-mail setting correctly:

1. Run the CEICW and configure the network settings.
2. Go through firewall option.
3. In the Internet E-mail tab, please click to "Enable Internet E-mail".
4. In the Email Delivery method page, please choose "Forward all e-mail to
e-mail server at your IPS. Then input the Smarthost address correctly.

Note: If you choose to forward emails to the ISP's email server (smart
host), you need to type the FQDN of the ISP's email server. If your ISP
provides you the IP address of their email server, for example,
12.34.56.78, you should type the IP address as "[12.34.56.78]" (without the
quotation marks) on the connector's properties page.

5. Go through the remaining steps.

2003

Step 2: Please check the SmallBusiness SMTP connector setting:

1. Open Exchange Server Management.
2. Go to Domain (Exchange)\Connectors.
3. Double Click SmallBusiness SMTP connector, on the Delivery Option tab,
ensure Always Run is selected.

If the problem persists, please help me collect the following information
for further research:

1. Screen shot when you see message "if you have a broadband connection
that the schedule will be ignored. "

2. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server\Support\icwlog.txt.

3. To enable Message Tracking:

Open ESM, on the General tab in the server's Properties dialog box, select
the Enable message tracking check box. After the issue is reproduced,
please wait about 15 minutes and then go to the message tracking folder and
collect the message tracking log for us.

By default, the message tracking logs locate under the folder:C:\Program
Files\Exchsrvr\servername.log

4. MPS Report

1) Visit
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_Exchange.EXE to download the file.
2) Run the MPSRPT_Exchange.EXE on the server box.
3) Wait for 10~15 minutes.
4) Open Windows explorer, navigate to %SYSTEMROOT%\MPSReports\Exchange\cab\
5) Send the .cab file directly to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject:
40479438-SMTP delay.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
