We have a customer that we remotely administer that runs MS Exchange server 2000 with service pack 3, on top of Small Business Server 2000. 9 months ago, an intermittent problem surfaced: Email sent to certain Domains got delayed in some of their accounts. It would take 6-15 hours for them to get the notification that the mail was delayed. The issue was fixed by manually installing the post service pack 3 rollup outdates. Just rebooting the server does not solve the problem. All delayed mail then gets sent. That fixed it for 8 months. Now it has happened 3 times this month. We install the latest rollup and it stops,,, for a while.
The installation is vanilla and updated.

I run exchange 2003 but on my server, I can look at the Delivery option for Specify when messages are sent through this connector under Routing->Domain->Connectors-> SMTP connector

this is rated only to give feedback to answer:The latest rollup update package from MS cures the problem, for a while. Delivery options are not changed. I'm not sure what you are suggesting.

I am sorry for not being clear. On My Exchange 2003, I can go to Exchange System Manager->Org->Administrative Group->Site->Routing->Domain->Connectors->SMTP connector->Properties->delivery Options and "specify when messages are sent throught this connector"->Always run.

Is it all or some emails only that gets delayed? Is it to a specific domain or random?
