HELP!!!! Emails arriving 24 hours after they were sent and in some cases, customers receiving ndr's.

Still pretty new to supporting email:

Two part question:

How do I find out why we are receiving some emails anywhere from 8 hours to 24 hours after they were sent?  I have a copy of one of the email headers below:

Microsoft Mail Internet Headers Version 2.0
Received:  from sears.com (hofsecimgw1.sears.com [198.179.148.4]) by dgntexch.nsamedia.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2657.72) id XRPL9D93; Wed, 24 Nov 2004 20:51:27 -0600

How do I determine why some, not all,  emails are being retruned as undeliverable to the people who are trying to send to us?  An expamle of the header from one of those is below:

Reporting-MTA: dns; usdmzsvpsmtpct1.kmart.com

Final-Recipient: rfc822;maryanne.volk@nsamedia.com
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 454 5.7.3 Client was not authenticated.

Thanks, that was it problem with the setup for the mail2, the second issue.  The first issue, I am now questioning if it is really on my side or on the customers.  As you can see, the email was delivered to our email server the day and time it was delivered to our employee.  The customers email server did not deliver to our email server until approx 24 hours after the customer sent it to us.  
You are welcome and thank you for the points

As far as the second question goes, I would definitely not worry as the  headers show that it was only passed to your server a short while before delivery. That is something that you would have no control over and it can happen for any number of reasons

Good luck with the support!
