Is there any delay in email delivery?

There should be no noticeable delay in the delivery of processed by your SafePoint system as the process of scanning and filtering happens real-time and takes only milliseconds. However, sometimes when large attachments are involved there may be a delay of a few seconds due to the necessary Virus scanning which is carried out on such attachments.

In general, as speed is not as critically important in the delivery of email as it is with web serving for example the extra couple of seconds which it might take for a message to be processed and delivered by the SafePoint system is negligible when compared to the amount of time and resources saved by having basically Spam and Virus free email arriving at the the destination mail server.
