SMTP"D" processes, maybe, look in NT task mgr.

for many different senders or just one? repeatedly or
occassionally? If one, that one screwed up. If many and repeatedly,
better look at why .net is unreachable. I run MX 10 and MX 20 here,
and have almost no traffic spilling over to MX 20, maybe 1 or 2 out
of 3000/day.
