For those out there who run a high traffic mailserver.... I just found this article: http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/Scalability.html#TimeWait
Summary: - It is recommended to change the TCP TIME_WAIT time in the windows registry from 180 seconds to 20-30 seconds . - The Windows system limits the maximum number port number assigned to outgoing connections. By default this value is 5000. You may want to increase that value to 20,000 or more, by adding the MaxUserPort DWORD-type value to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, key. Please let me (and the list) know if you experience a performance increase.
