When I send the first email every morning it take is like 10 seconds before it is sent, all of the rest of the emails I send through out the day send right out but the first one just sits there for 10 -15 seconds and then is sent. 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. Thanks Bruce Rose
