Delayed Email Deliveries

Hello,
     We have one domain that sometimes sends us emails that get delayed somewhere down the line. Sometimes it is for several hours,even more on occasion. Most times it comes right through. I am trying to figure out if it us, them or a server along the way. I found a tool that analyzes the message header but I can't really translate it. Can one of you expert folks maybe take a look and pare it down to "layman's terms"?

This message example was sent at 1:20 PM EST and was received at 2:57 AM EST.

 I have attached a file that is a screen print of the analyzer results. Some info has been redacted on the images and I have "x'd" out some info from the Receiver Header.

Here is the Receiver Header:

Thank you. When I look at the message log on the Barracuda device I do not see it hitting the message log until the delivery time, (2:47 AM). Also, the domain in question is whitelisted on the Barracuda device.

Well I see it moving through the dispatch01 servers with no delay so from the way I'm reading it, it's hanging on the Barracuda.

Maybe get with them and see if there is some type of verbose logging you can turn on.

Those "invalid Dates" are a bit to think about though....but you can see where the big delay is.

Email Servers

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.
