    Hi,

    We have an on-premise Exchange 2016 Servers. Just recently we've had a user complain that SOME emails (a mixture of internal and external) are taking a long time to arrive. 

    i.e an internal email sent @ 12:21am was received @  12:36am, another  was sent at 6:32am and received at 6:41am and another was sent at 6:34am and received at 6:41am.

    Here are the HEADERS of one email

    Received: from XXXXXXXEX01.XXXXXXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) by

     XXXXXXXEX01.XXXXXXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)with Microsoft SMTP Server

     (version=TLS1_2, cipher=TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256) id 15.1.1713.5

     via Mailbox Transport; Wed, 19 Jun 2019 06:41:21 +1000

    Received: from XXXXXXXEX01.XXXXXXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)by

     XXXXXXXEX01.XXXXXXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)with Microsoft SMTP Server

     (version=TLS1_2, cipher=TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256) id

     15.1.1713.5; Wed, 19 Jun 2019 06:34:06 +1000

    Received: from XXXXXXXEX01.XXXXXXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)  ([XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX]) by

     XXXXXXXEX01.XXXXXXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)  ([XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX]) with mapi id

     15.01.1713.004; Wed, 19 Jun 2019 06:34:06 +1000

    Any help or advise would be appreciated. 

    Thanks

    Hi TheWanKing,

    Did you change anything on the server recently ? Is there only one user have the delay issue ?

    You can try to check the message tracking log on these specific delayed messages , that would show us the details about where and when the message delay:

    Search message tracking logs

    Moreover, you can also try using message analyzer in EXRCA to help analyze the message header, this tool will analyze the email’s path and, based on the timestamps when it passed the different machines, it will tell you the exact source that is responsible for delaying the message delivery.

    Havent made any changes. In this case we've had a different user with the same issue. This is what i got from the Exchange Delivery REport. As you can see there's a 14 minute delay

    We noticed the time it happened mail was queuing on this server

    Delivery Report for  USERXXXXX ‎(USERXXXX@COMPANYXXXXXX.com)‎

    Delving deeper into the Rabbit Hole we discovered HADISCARD message for the above log. We changed the -MaxInboundConnectionPerSorce for each connector on this server from the default of 20 to 200. Will monitor to see how it goes.
