The server has a Intel Server Motherboard with Dual PIII 450's and 512 mb's
of Ram. The Nic's are also from Intel.
I do not see any errors in the event logs or on the nics themselves. So far
I have not seen anything from a friendly sender. But that is an option that
I will pursue.
Memory and CPU utilization is very minimal.

that's pretty normal for a smallish machine, actualy kind of on the low

I think you better take a very close look at NT in that machine, the
nic, the NT logs files, etc, etc. Are you starved for
memory? running in a 386/25, 16 meg machine? I run in a P166 / 32
meg machine comfortably. but of course IMgate handles Internet.
And no errors in your Imail logs? Of course, if Imail were not
seeing the SMTP client connections coming in, then Imail wouldn't
show any log activity.
Can any friendly sender servers show you their logs when they failed
to connect to your MX primary?
