Delayed messages with New ISP

I have an odd problem that so far Cisco has not been able to resolve.  We are in the process of migrating from AT&T fiber to Comcast Business Fiber.  All DNS records have been moved over. We currently have both links up. The ASA configuration is setup for tracking (redundancy). All of our outbound traffic is going through the Comcast link (default route) and most of our incoming traffic via DNS has been setup to the new external IP configured on the secondary up-link for Comcast.
Here is the problem:  When I change our MX records from AT&T to Comcast; messages are delayed. Often times 5-10 times longer than using the AT&T link. On several occasions, the messages are delayed so much, that the sender server drops the connection.  We have a 15 minute timeout configured on the IronPort (ESA C170). but that is the same configuration used by AT&T. 
At first, the thought was a config problem on our ASA (55xx series). However, after hours of support from the ASA team, it was determined not to be a problem with the ASA. Later as a confirmation, I changed the Comcast IP route to bypass the C170 and emails flow as expected (omit spam detection).
The ESA simply listens to port 25 traffic, checks for spam and viruses and then pass that information to Exchange 2010.
Been working with the ESA team for nearly 2 weeks and they cannot seem to find a problem. But again, if I bypass the ESA, there are no issues. The ASA has been configured so that SMTP traffic has priority and confirmed that Port 25 is open.
What I have done currently is leave our production SMTP (MX) records pointing to our AT&T IP, and configured a temporary domain (xxxxxx.COM) to point to our Comcast IP. I configured both Exchange and the Ironport to accept messages from that domain. I have followed message tracking over and over again, tried and review packet captures and provide every possible log to Cisco.  What I am seeing is that the message(s) stop at the point where it is retrieving the message header.  For example, I have one message that the connection was accepted at 1333hours, it matched SBRS, was accepted via the TLS Protocol. The message connection continues and the last line before the delay is the incoming connection added the recipients email address. After that, there is nearly a 12 minutes delay until the next item which is the message ID header.  With my test domain, the message will eventually be received and forwarded on to our exchange server. The later steps taking just seconds. 
If I used one of our production domains, messages are dropped. Those same messages, the message tracking does not record a subject line (by way of the message headers). 
Can anyone shine a light on why this is occurring? I can provide any logs, captures or message tracking details you may need. I just need to get this resolved.
Recap:
Email sent from say Live.com (Microsoft Hotmail Servers) to our ATT IP through our ASA firewall then through the IronPort; that email arrives on time.
Email sent with an attachment from Live.com (Microsoft Hotmail Servers) to our ATT IP through our ASA firewall then through the IronPort; that email arrives on time.
Email sent from Live.com (Microsoft Hotmail Servers) to our Comcast IP  through our ASA firewall then through the IronPort; that email arrives on time.
Email sent with an attachment from Live.com (Microsoft Hotmail Servers) to our Comcast IP  through our ASA firewall then through the IronPort; that email is delayed.
Email sent with an attachment from Live.com (Microsoft Hotmail Servers) to our Comcast IP through our ASA firewall bypassing the IronPort; that email arrives on time.
The tests messages with attachments vary from 1MB-3MB. The Max message size is 50MB. Our ATT connection is 15Mbps. Our Comcast connection is 50Mbs. Other than the ESA, there is no other gear between the ASA and our Exchange servers.
Thank you,

I did, that is what the guy at apple had me do, and also Its been well over 48 hours, thank you though.. any other suggestions..
and ps the time on the phone was messed up again this morning

    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Problems with new ISP, and base station now disappeared

    I had been happily using AX for my wireless connection for a year and a half with no problems (well, apart from the alleged wireless printer issue...grrr). Now I've moved and have had to change my broadband/ISP provider. I now have an ADSL router (BT voyager 210). I can connect by ethernet cable but no joy with my AX, despite a solid green light, strong signal and recognised network. I spent two hours on the phone to a helpdesk in India today and managed to reconfigure some of my base station settings, but now my base station has disappeared from the network list completely and the AX just flashes amber. I've tried resetting it with the old paperclip routine but nothing. I'm going nuts turning it on and off and trying to figure it out... any ideas?

    Hi melsteel,
    reset to factory settings using the instructions from here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
    After you've done that, choose your reconfigured AEBS from the dropdown menu, run setup assistant, then go into Airport Admin in the Utilities menu and set up some security
    Create new network names, get rid of the old stuff, just start all over, you'll be glad you did

  • Windows has stopped working error message with new iPad2

    Can some one please help me. I have the latest iTunes software 10.4 which has been working fine up to today when i tried to get my iPad2 up and running. I have also updated my iPad to the latest software as well. When syncing either books or photos, the program will work for some time anywhere between 50 & 150 books or 300 & 450 photos and then I get the error message that iTunes has stopped working and windows has shut it down. I am running win7 64bit with 6gig RAM on a HP DV7 laptop.

    How much storage space do you have available on your iPad 2? if could by running out of space.  Also try restarting your iPad 2 by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

  • Retaining old messages with new account

    Hi,
    I use an imap server at work, but am changing jobs. I'd like to be able to retain my old emails (@old.address) and folders in Mail and to integrate my new messages (@new.address, IMAP) into these folders. Is there a way to do this, or am I just going to have to download all my old emails to folders 'On my Mac' and have a new set of folders for my new account?
    Thanks

    that's what you'll have to do. once the new IMAP account is set up you can move those local folders to that imap account.

  • Satellite X200-191 - Error message with new BIOS

    I have a Satellite X200-191 whit BIOS 2.70 on it when I wont to install Configfree than I get the messege that my laptop is not a Toshiba. And I got the program that you can install from Toshiba that downloads the drivers of your laptop that is not a Toshiba. But when I load the old BIOS 2.50 every thing is good no message that it is not a Toshiba laptop nothing white the same drivers. Is there somthing whit the BIOS update?
    It doesn't happen when you update the BIOS from 2.50 to 2.70 only when you have 2.70 and do a clean install of Windows 7 64bit
    Greetings

    Hello
    > But when I load the old BIOS 2.50
    How you have installed the old BIOS? Older BIOS versions are not available on Toshiba website and downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider because special BIOS update program is necessary.
    Satellite X200-191 belongs to PSPB9E series so have you downloaded the update for this model or other model (PSPBUE) that would be wrong?
    I read about similar messages here in forum and the reason was a replaced mainboard and the ASP did forget to write the DMI information. Did you exchange the mainboard?

  • Error Message with new iMessage

    I just installed the Beta version of iMessage on my iMac.  Then I go through the set up it asks for my apple ID which I enter and it works.  Then it asks for my iMessage password.  This is the same password on my iPad and iPhone, but it will not work here.  Any ideas?

    Ok I have a question.
    Why do you want to use Beta software? Especially since you are having this problem with it?
    Uninstall it and forget about it until it is released as a real piece of software.

  • How to dequeue/delete/remove a message with delay?

    I've enqueued a message with dbms_aq.enqueue
    using
    l_message_properties.delay := 24*60*60*x
    where x is calculated so that the message should normally be dequeued on a given date, but not before next midnight. So that if nothing happens, the message can be consumed by another system in the right time. But now, when "something happens", i'd like to cancel the message, to delete it from the queue, as if it weren't there
    dbms_aq.dequeue(
    queue_name => 'MY_QUEUE',
    dequeue_options => dequeue_options,
    message_properties => message_properties,
    payload => my_queue_type_variable,
    msgid => right_msgid
    gives ORA-25228: timeout or end-of-fetch during message dequeue from MY_QUEUE, although documentation says delay is not considered when msgid is given.
    Is there a way to remove this message - should i update the delay date to null and try to dequeue the message? Or can i just delete from the queue table? Or is there a nicer way how things should be done?
    (soon going from 9.2.0.6 => 10.2.0.3)
    Thanks,

    Hi Martien,
    thank you very much for your response.
    I am (very) new to AQ. And from your response it seems i have to get used to some new concepts. Can you please confirm.
    A service will be ended .. say 30. september. The decision is made today, on sept 18. I send it right away to AQ for other systems to be consumed, and put the delay date 01 october, so they will receive the message just in time. And ... everything is fine until some one changes its mind and decides (before 01 october) that "no, this service will not be ended". Now i need to cancel the message in AQ. So that the other systems will not be notified about the end of the service. And you say i can't. And, i can't set the expire date at enqueue time, because it is not known, whether the ending of the service will be cancelled or not ( and 99.9% it will not be cancelled, it is a very rare exception. But happens sometimes. Everybody makes mistakes).
    Now, do i have to make my own queue table, log all the ending services there, delete from that table when ending is cancelled and make a job frequently scanning that table to transport all ended dates to the original AQ for other systems to read and consume? Ok, i see, i can make this just another queue, but this one i'll consume myself, and the consuming from this queue means to check whether the actual end date on the service is in place, and when it is, put it to original queue, else just ignore. Right? I have to make two queues (on the same structure) to make this work?
    What does the "Only messages in the READY state are dequeued unless a msgid is specified." mean then (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96587/qopface.htm#63943)? I do read it in the way that when a msgid is specified, i can dequeue a message even when it's not ready?
    Many thanks,
    Andres

    Hi, My Iphone 6 " iOS 8.1"  is dropped in water, and couldn't save it back although I tried with dryer and also put it in rice bag for 3 days. The flash light was still on even though the screen shows up nothing at all when i try to switch on after 3 days I put in the rice bag. So,how much it would be cost if I can exchange with new one? Please kindly drop message about how to deal with it. Thank you.

    Out of Warranty replacement on iPhone 6 is $299 US, adjust for your location.
    It is highly suggested that you make a Genius Bar appointment to avoid delay

As a result, you will not be able to send or receive new email messages with your iCloud email address until you free up storage space or buy more storage. I have 20GB remaining.  WHat is the issue here?

    Today I received the same message but have 4.6gb available from a total of 5.0gb. I also received the same message when i first set up my icloud account and icloud was virtually empty. Unfortunately the only way i can see to contact apple is to pay for a telephone call. If anyone knows what is going on i would appreciate knowing.

  • My mac book pro does not start but has error message with a question mark on screen. took it in and was told probably the hard drive as could not reconize it so bought new one but still not connecting.what do i do

    My mac book pro does not connect but shows an error message with a question mark on the screen.I took it to a retailer that said it was not reconizing the hard drive.He said i needed a new hard drive but it may be something else as well but he was sure a new hard drive would fix it.So putting faith in someone who deals with them i purchased a new hard drive to find it was still not working although he said the computer did know reconize the hard drive and i may have to send it away to get it checked .After already paying 120 pounds for a new hard drive and they wanting another 80.00 pounds to diagnose it i am a little sceptical.
    That's why i am interested on anyone's help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

    When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.
