XADM: Deferred Delivery Settings Not Effective

 Last reviewed: February 12, 1998
Article ID: Q176180
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When a message is sent using an Outlook client with specific deferred delivery options set, the deferred delivery options are ignored and the mail item may take an exceptional amount of time to be delivered.

If there is a time difference between the originating client and the originating server, this is behavior is by design. It should be considered to be an issue if there is not a time difference between the originating client, receiving client, and two host servers.

CAUSE

The deferred delivery time is not being implemented for local delivery.
