Hi, On my Exchange 2007 SP3 server, i have analyzed that "Tarpitting Delays Ananymous" is hitting 100% in Performance Monitor. Users are complaining about emails in Outbox (Smtp/pop3 clients). Is there any way to detect the problem and resolve it. thanks.

Have a look at your SMTP protocol logs and see what those clients are sending thats causing delays to be injected. A SMTP conversation without errors shouldn't be delayed. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi, Besides Rich’s suggestion, I suggest you run the command to check the tarpit delay.. "get-SendConnector | select name,tarpitinterval". "get-ReceiveConnector | select name,tarpitinterval" The tarpit interval only used when trying to send messages to non-existent addresses in your domain. So, does the issue occur on each messages or several messages which are sent to non-existent addresses? For more information, please refer to the following article: http://www.exchangepedia.com/blog/2007/01/enabled-by-default-smtp-tarpit-in.html Thanks.
