i have two exchange servers relay outbound messages through a fortimail box. it scans the antispam for inbound messages. If a mail received by Exchange A, It is relayed by fortimail without any issue. If message is received by Exchange B, delivery delayed by fortimail. I  have checked the Exchange B's queue, it was trying to relay number of spam messages. Genuine emails also delayed. How can i overcome this issue?

    Do you have logs for the delayed messages?

    Is Exchange B hitting the same IP Policy for outgoing connections as Exchange A? May be hitting some session limits.

    Are Exchange A and B hosting the same domains? If different, outgoing AntiSpam Profiles could be a factor.

    I have attached a screen shot of logs. .157 is exchange and .156 is Fortimail

    Yes, Both exchange use the same IP policy and messages per 30 minutes was increased from 1500 to 5000 due to this issue but that didn't make any difference.

    Yes both mail servers host same domain
