Send/Receive upon SEND of message no longer functional

[Bradwin]

Until recently, when an originator pressed Send, the message was sent. Now,
some users are experiencing transfer of the message to the outbox, and send
does not occur until the next log on into Outlook. No changes to the
SEND/RECEIVE configuration were made. In fact, the "Send immediately" check
box appears to be ignored. This is OUTLOOK 2007, latested SP for Office...

[Bradwin]

MIcrosoft Exchange 2003, SP1 is the mail type, no erros are displayed. It
was discovevered with an email arrived with a send date four days after it
was composed and "sent" by the originator. His outbox was emptied when he
logged into Outlook after a four day vacation... The emails were his
instructions to be followed while on vacation. A check of other accounts
showed that their outboxes had messages in them. All accounts are configured
for send immediately if connected to the mail server.
