Author 2003 server for our website and mail getting delayed
John Peters

2006-06-26, 7:20 pm

So we have some ASP forms with the CDO for sending mail and it seems that at
times during testing a message to ourselves it takes 4 hours to arrive. We
have Exchange on our network so why would it take so long to get to us from
our own mail server on the same network? Web server in DMZ PIX firewall
Exchange on other side. I called our ISP and they have it setup so if our
exchange server was down it would hold the mail and later resend it. So they
think that our mail server is going down and that is the problem. Could be
overload from SPAM so they suggested I change the mail to go directly to my
internal IP instead of the mail server name. Well for one not sure where
that change would be made in the CDO form or somewhere in IIS 6 and two that
sounds fine for internal mail but what about when the form sends to outside
e-mail address?

Thanks in advance and hope I placed this in the right section

Look at the logs, both SMTP and Exchange, for help.

Nothing to be found in the logs.

Can someone suggest a way to setup smtp to go directly to my exchange server
to be routed?

Thanks in advance

Change the SMTPServer in your CDO code. Point to the Exchange server
instead of a local SMTP.

Should I use the public IP or the non routable internal IP?

Thanks in advance

Use whatever IP the Exchange server will answer SMTP connections on.
Generally the internal, but I don't know yu're setup.
