Slow relaying of emails

 I have a Exchange 2003sp2 server running on Windows 2003 sp1 server.  I also have a CRM server running on windows 2003 sp1.  When we send mail form the CRM server, the email message takes 30-40 minutes to get recieved by any user email address internally.  If we send them to a external email adress, it takes 2-3 minutes if not quicker.  I have setup these servers in the past at least 8-10 times and have never had this type of problem before.  All servers are setup on a private network.  I have put in the ip address of the CRM server in the Allowed to Relay smtp portion of exchange.  We also have a emailfilter server running, but there is NO log of the messages ever hitting it from the crm box.
   Any ideas would be appreciated.

 i checked all the desktops and servers.  I could not find anything wrong with the DNS.  I did all the standard windows tests, recusive tests, etc.  And they all came back working.  it is strating to speed up, as now they are only delayed 10-15 minutes.  very strange indeed.  When i am finished with the migration, i am going to install a new Server, making it the DNS server and the MASTER DC.  It works so i am not worried about it, i just dont know what else to do.
