"Oh, that is the TCP/IP connection attempt that is
timing out. Basically, iMS asks Winsock to connect to the server and when
Winsock fails to connect you get an error which, in this case, is a
timeout. This means that the remote server is not listening or a network
connection could not be established."
You'll notice that the log error contains the text "sockconnect" which
means that the timeout occurred when trying to connect. The timeout that
is set in iMS is for when iMS is connected to a server but is waiting for a
response from the other server.

Subject: [iMS] Socket Timeouts
Hi,
In some other threads, we were told that the
timeout for POST on socket connect errors (like the below) is actually the
SMTP timeout setting
Here's my question. We have set the SMTP
timeout error to 600 seconds and even down to 30 seconds, but consistently,
when we get these errors, the timeout occured after only 23 seconds,
regardless of what the SMTP timeout is set at.
Is there another setting somewhere that could be
affecting this? We are getting hundreds of these socket errors, but
sometimes the mail goes through to these domains and we have thousands of
mailouts that are succeeding. We've figured this setting is probably a
winsock timeout but can it be controlled from iMS or anyone have any ideas how
we can extend it?
