Hi All,
We are running Exchange 2010 SP3 on a Windows 2012 server.
We have been trying to resolve a problem with regards to exchange delivery to a particular domain. Messages with no attachments seem to go through normally, but messages with attachments depending on size can take an hour to 48 hours to deliver due to reattempts.
We tried setting up a separate exchange connector for this specific domain and remove all limits, etc however the problems still persist. It appears that the initial email message is sent to the far end, they are apparently sending back an smtp response but we do not seem to receive or process it and the connection is dropped after exactly 10 minutes.
We only have problems with the 1 particular domain. We can send the same message with attachments fine to a Gmail / Hotmail / etc account with attachments and they go through almost immediately.
Here is a sample from our exchange SMTP logs (slightly modified for forum purposes):
