Hi Abu_Bakar_Afzal,

I have a few suggestions to try to check:

  • Which type of VS are you using? ie: Standard vs FastL4.
  • Verify which tcp profile is in use, and consider swapping it to a "lan" or "wan" variant.
  • Is any SMTP profile in use?
  • Is the connection between the BIG-IP and the SMTP server busy, high latency, or otherwise congested?
