Outlook2003 w/ex5.5SP4 'do not deliver before' hangs in outbox

[Scott Bass]

With Outlook2003 client on an Exch.5.5SP4 server, I set the 'do not deliver before' option in an email, pick a date/time and then send it. This message will 'hang' in the outlook outbox until the time specified (I don't want this). A computer with outlook2000 doing the same thing, the message actually leaves the outbox and is sent to the Exchange server to wait there. As far as I can tell I'm running in online mode, not cached and I've tried it on more than one computer with Outlook2003, same thing. This sounds like an Outlook problem, not an exchange problem since it works on older client software. Any suggestions?

They fixed do not deliver before to work for all users and to do that, they
had to hold it in outlook since not all servers support delayed delivery.
