What exactly do you mean by "first e-mail"? The first one sent for the day for the whole company? The first one sent from a given client? The first one sent to a given destination?

I think it happens regardless of time its just the first email. I click send and it sits there on my screen and then sent about 10 seconds later. If I send another email right then and there is goes right through. I have a 10 Mb Internet connection and the Lan is at 100 or 1000 Mb.

If your a typical business remember that first thing in the morning is the busiest time for your Exchange servers, thats when everyone is logging in and opening thier mailbox for the first time of the day. Large mailboxes take a few seconds to open and put a heavy (temporary) load on your servers, you may simply be seeing user contention. What type of connection do you have for outbound traffic? Older connections like ISDN will disconnect during off-hours and do take a minute or so to reconnect in the morning. It's possible that your seeing an issue with your internet connection dropping during off-hours. Just some thoughts, Maybe describe your setup a little for us (servers, number of users, connection, etc...) and we might come up with some better answers.

Do not see any events on the Exchange server. I have Exchange 2003 non Enterprise SP2 on windows 2003 Domain Controller. Yep I know should not be on a domain controller but it was like that before I got here. I will be putting in a new Server for the Exchange and migrate to it.
