E-mail Delayed, Delayed, Failed... Status: 4.4.7
To make a very long story short, I have a Windows Server 2003 with Exchange 2003 SP2.
We use Exchange internally and use also use OWA. Also, some users have laptops for use externally with SMTP configured in Outlook. Some E-mails sent from the SMTP configured Outlook, for example, to Yahoo! Groups get delayed, delayed, ..., and eventually fail.
However, the same user can log into OWA or have Outlook configured directly to the Exchange server on the internal network, and can send the same message to the same e-mail address, yet the message gets delivered successfully.
Has anyone seen this or know of a way to fix this?

I've been having the very same issues. I've read Ceciladmin's comments about McAfee GroupShield and was able to fix the issue.
Hello all, my problem is similar, however slightly more complicated. Emails go in and out just fine and meeting requests are good too. The problem arises only when i have to update or delete a meeting invitation already set up in Outlook calendar. Has anyone had this problem before? i get the same notification >

This problem is only present for certain emails, the regular, Live, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol, and most other company addresses work great, only a select few bounce back like this. Any suggestions?

mbudman - I'm having the same issue as well with it happening on changed appointments. We are running AVG Enterprise instead of Kaspersky though. Have you found the cause?

I have found this happens when there is Exchange Server on one side and Lotus notes on the other. Apparently the two systems don't like each other.

Through a tedious process of elimination, it turns out that it was GroupShield 6.0 for Exchange causing the problem. Our organization had a GroupShield Anti-Virus and Content Gateway Policy adding a Declaimer Text as a signature to outbound mail. When sending e-mail via SMTP, apparently the e-mail header or something was getting changed causing certain hosts to reject these e-mails. Then the messages would be returned to the Exchange Queue where they would retry, delay, and eventually fail.
