SYMPTOMS

When a message is sent using an Outlook client with specific deferred delivery options set, the deferred delivery options are ignored and the mail item may take an exceptional amount of time to be delivered.

If there is a time difference between the originating client and the originating server, this is behavior is by design. It should be considered to be an issue if there is not a time difference between the originating client, receiving client, and two host servers.
