Hi,
Sending mail through SMTP-services takes a minute or more on all pc’s in our network.
Doesn’t matter which mailprogram we use.
Using the same SMTP-server of the ISP in another network, works like a charm.
So it has to be inside. Other network traffic is at normal speed. Also receiving mail through POP.
Any suggestions?

AskWoody MVPFebruary 8, 2007 at 3:57 pm #1050635Yeah, well pick one or more that seems close and look at them. It is very unlikely that you are going to find a definitive answer without a little legwork on your own. Try to modify the search to narrow it down. With networking issues unless you happen to stumble on a solution immediately you almost always have to check one thing, eliminate it, then check somethin else.

AskWoody_MVPFebruary 9, 2007 at 4:41 pm #1050773At times this will happen when there is a issue or two between your ISP and the “Backbone” service. For a long time I had this slowness to the point that Outlook timed out and/or could NOT download an file and attachment over half a MEG. I screamed to my ISP and they said it was the backbone, after months of this it just up and cleared up. I did however send emails to the support people to my cable ISP, my email hosting ISP and the backbone people almost weekly.
