I have similar confiration as this thread, FW-1 4.1 sp3 on Nokia IP330, Exch 5.5 sp4 and Interscan virus wall running on NT. Have in the past week begun to experience severe delays in e-mail delivery - anywhere from 2 hours to 2+days. At first I wrote it off as vagaries of the Internet, but am starting to wonder if there may be a configuration issues. I have recently configured the anti-spamming configuration on Exchange, and implemented interscan (migrated from Norton Products). When I check the Interscan logs mail transfers in a timely fashion from internal mailboxes to the scan engine, I see them gong out the FW log as well, but they don't show up at their destination for hours. Same thing inbound, from the time they are scanned to the time they get to a mailbox is within a minute in most cases. But have had many cases where the time stamp on the message sent is several days off. Examples include messages on this list, some sent Thursday this week showed up saturday, others show up in what would be considered timely - less than 10 minutes separates "sent time" and received time. any insight? thanks, -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Stranieri [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2001 2:23 AM To: Chris F; [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [FW1] SMTP relay & Spam mail problem At the InterScan VirusWall management console Advacend configuration--> The last option is ANTI-RELAY Take a look. -----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]En nombre de Chris F Enviado el: Viernes, 25 de Mayo de 2001 10:56 a.m. Para: [email protected]; [email protected] CC: [email protected] Asunto: RE: [FW1] SMTP relay & Spam mail problem It's not just your Exchange box -- it's also FW1's SMTP Security Server.
