Do the statements have large attachments or what causes them to be different than normal mail? How much RAM does your email server have? Are you backups and log truncation happening normally?

There is a PDF attachment to every statement email - typically about 100kb. &nbsp;Server memory is 10GB, and yes the logs are being truncated at each successful backup.

Hello<br />
We have an Exchange 2007 server that handles all our emails very nicely. &nbsp;However once a month we need to send out customer statements and at that point the exchange server is handed many hundreds of emails to process all at once. &nbsp;This generally gives us a long list in the outgoing mail queue and means that regular email is held up while the statements are cleared. <br />
<br />
Is there someway to configure the exchange server (or the Outlook client from which the statements are set) to give priority to the regular mail? &nbsp;I don't want to statements to wait until &quot;after hours&quot; as it is important to get them out as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Outlook

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
