Re: NDR delivery delayed errors keep coming, any advice?

How are you configured for sending - Smarthost or DNS?

What type of internet connection do you have (static or dynamic IP)?

Unless you've got a complete set of DNS records, including reverse MX and SPF, you may have trouble sending via DNS to some domains. A reasonable alternative is to use Smarthost, sending all outgoing email via your ISPs mail server.

If emails are recieved at the destination, but go to junk mail at the receiving end - it's one of two things .... your emails look like spam (the above points apply here), and/or the recipient needs to adjust their junk mail/spam filter settings.

Have you run the connect to the internet wizard, and properly defined your email domain so you're not sending with a .local domain extension?

Les,

Thanks for the response. I will try your suggestions. Since I sent this
note this morning, I have had another user tell me they are getting the same
issue. This is sending to some of the free e-mails out there, i.e. yahoo,
msn, hotmail. All e-mails from my Exchange server to yahoo seem to be going
into junk/bulk mail in the recipient's folder. I don't think I have any
control over that, do I? When I send to my personal gmail account and back,
no issues.

I will post after I have tried what you suggested. I've got to get this
fixed!

Mike

Hi Mike,

You need to determine whether the entire recipient domain is affected, or
only certain users you send to at that domain. Here are a few
troubleshooting steps you can take.

Check your exchange queues, and see if you can determine the reason why the
emails are queued.
Use this kb article to send an email via command line to see if it succeeds:

You can also turn up logging in Exchange, to view the SMTP conversation:

In Exchange System Manager, right click your Server object and select
properties.
On the Diagnostics Logging tab, click on MSExchangeTransport, and SMTP
Protocol, and set logging to maximum.
Expand Protocols, SMTP, default SMTP VS properties, and on the general tab
enable logging.
