Hello, I am asked to figure out a way to delay deliver emails with big attachment after working hours.. I do not know if this is possible and if a "generic" account should be created for that purpose or if I could create sort of rule by users. For instance, my identity graig2011 would be able to send email with an attachement bigger than 15 Mo from 8 to 10 pm.. Sorry if I am not that clear but I am even sure that it is possible. I could not find it on Internet except delay the mail delivery through the Oultook interface. Any help would be appreciated. Graig

Hi What version of Exchange are you using? Sukh

Sorry Exchange 2007

Hi Please see. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrtransport/thread/f1f61ae8-32ba-494a-b92c-dcc5c9628cc1/ Sukh

Thanks Sukh, I have read the post but doesn't really help me to understand how you schedule a send connector or write a script to do so.. Would you know how to proceed on that? Thanks Graig

Hi Are trying to restrict a user or specific domains? How big are the attachments? Just a side note - How many HT do you have? What is the requirement for this? Sukh

Attachement should be about 20-30 Mo. It would concern restricted users.

Hi Are they all going to the same domain. As you mentioned, if you use a generic account, I assume it doesn't matter who the sender from the recipients's view? If it doesn't matter, then you can create a transport rule to redirect message over xKB to another mailbox, then send those message in the evening. Sukh

Hi Graiggoriz, Above gave a good workaround. Per my known, there is no directly method to achieve your target in exchange 2007, unless develop a new transport agent. If you want to do that, some information for you: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa579185.aspx How to write Exchange 2007 transport agents http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/12/04/431755.aspx Other workaround: I would use a special connector for the special users who want to send the big emals, and use the schedule task to enable it at 8 to 10 pm, and make a test, but I am not sure it meet the target. For example, set-senderconnector -enabled $false/$true, and then use windows task schedule. Or I would use the outlook feature to achieve the target. Regards!
