Hello,
I'm kind of stump here. We're getting, on average an 18 second delay when an internet forum is trying to send an email through the Exchange 2013 server. It happens once awhile but it seems to happen when someone is emailing a new address or an existing address after a few mins. It works fine after you send the initial email and it'll send it under 1 second. We're not experiencing this on our 2010 box.
We direct IP on the forum to the load balancer and one directly to either exchange 2013 box with the same delay.
Here's what we have setup with 2013.
2 server 2012R2
Load Balancer
Internet Forum
This is what we have on our exchange 2010 box:
Server 2008 R2
Internet Forum
Let say that I sent an email from the forum to Server A. I've looked through the log and it's sending through Server B. It's like the message is lost on Server A and vice versa. Same thing happen when I point the forum directly to the load balancer. I've attached the log below. But it works fine after that until someone puts a new address in or wait about a minute.
What else should I check? I was thinking about turning off Shadow redunanecy and see if that had any effect but I think it would affect all the test emails that I've been sending.
