Exchange 2003 - emails are coming in 15-20 minutes after they are sent

I am utilizing exchange 2003 and the emails are being delivered 10-15 minutes after they are being sent. just some added information that may or may not have anything to do with the issue, but the disk space is running low on the c drive partition. Thank you for your assistance.

Disk space can easily cause the delay. Try to get disk space increase. Or you can change the path to another drive. Follow method 1 from this article

How do I increase the disk space?

Dinesh Singh

Disk space is one of the mail reason for delaying email and other multiple problem, if it is in C drive than it will create more problem.

to increase disk space please move old IIS log file some other drive where you have sufficient space, delete the temp file, check if any unnecessary file, folder move from C drive to other drive.

Hi,

I have few questions for you.

The above recomendations are still valid but in addition to that can you consider these things as well.

Do we have Exchange Database and log files in same location?

Default location - C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata\

if YES, Consider moving the same to a different location (These are Recomendations)

also keep an eye on SMTP Mailroot Folder

Default location - C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot folder
