[IMail Forum] Outbound Mail Failing - send error 10054

[Wolf Tombe]

I’ve just configured my new mail server and am having trouble getting SMTP to send outbound messages (it received inbound e-mail fine).  I’m running iMail 8.13 with Declude 1.81 and Windows 2003 Enterprise Server on a Dell 2850 PowerEdge server with two processors, 2Gb RAM, running RAID 1 with 140Gb available disk space and Two Intel 1Gb NICs.  The problem I’m having is that ALL outbound messages are failing.  The logs show the following errors:   10:28 08:00 POP3D  (00000D70) send error 67.101.20.130 10054 10:28 08:00 POP3D  (00000d70) 67.101.20.130 connection reset   20041028 184600 Socket Error - 192.168.1.2 Error while writing sockect due to error 10054 or malicious connection type. 20041028 184600 Socket Error - 192.168.1.2 Error while writing sockect due to error 10054 or malicious connection type. 20041028 184600 Socket Error - 192.168.1.2 Error while writing sockect due to error 10054 or malicious connection type.   I’ve searched the Ipswitch knowledge base and found the articled at http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20020812-DM01.htm and have changed the power management settings on both the NICs as specified; but the problem still persists.   Additionally, when I reboot the server, upon startup ALL messages that are still in the outbound queue are processed and successfully sent, but any subsequent messages fail with above problem and are held until the server is again rebooted.   Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!
