Do not deliver before.... 1

[paulwind]

Hi

The 'do not deliver before.....' function is not working on our Outlook 2000 system. Its one of the delivery options within Outlook. We have Exchange 2000, Outlook 2000 clients and W2Kpro workstations. Does any one have any ideas on this as it i thought it was just a default function that would not need any additional configuration.
Big thanks to any help i can get.

Regards

Paulwind

The two methods for deferring messages are deferred delivery and deferred submission.

The deferred delivery method is when the deferred delivery bit is set on the message and it is placed in the Mtadata folder until the timer expires. You see the Event ID 275 indicating that the deferred timer is starting with the MTS-ID of the message, and if the X.400 service is set to maximum, an Event ID 272 immediately follows, which indicates the message submission and displays the MTS-ID and the .dat file ID. This is purely MTA-based and it maps to the MTA's X.400 P1 field.

The deferred submission method gives you more control over the message. This method puts the message in the Outbox until the timer expires. At this point, the information store is responsible for the message, and the user has the option of changing the time or deleting the message all together.
