At work , we use Outlook for email. It comes with the Office suite loaded on
our computers - either 2000 or XP, running in Windows 2000 or XP.
Everything here goes through one "window to the world" network connection,
as far as I know. But I'm not too up on how computers connect to the
outside world.
There are times I compose and send an email to go outside the "company
walls", but do not get a notice of delivery for one to several hours. These
always involve mail going to the same place. This morning, the notice took
about an hour. Yesterday, maybe three minutes. Last week, one sent about
noon didn't generate a notice until after I started work the next day, more
than 18 hours - but one sent that next morning returned a notice almost
immediately after the 18-hour one.
Does OL generate the Delivery notice when the email leaves our server, or
when all the packets arrive at the other server? How would we find out if
the delayed notice means a server is having problems, and which one it is?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
