There is certainly an issue with my server's IP address, and I tend to agree with Jethro's take on this. Kerio does not allow modifying the timeout duration, therefore my hands are tied. The problem has also presented itself as well on a Sendmail box (thanks to the individual who offered up their Sendmail box as a test). Although I would prefer to know the exact reason why this is occuring I have resolved the problem by relaying through an internal node. -Eric -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
