Title: Error in SMTP Logs...
This is an error that is related to either your network, network connection or the remote client.  Here is the full descripition:

WSAECONNABORTED (10053) Software caused connection abort.

The error can occur when the local network system aborts a connection. This would occur if WinSock aborts an established connection after data retransmission fails (receiver never acknowledges data sent on a datastream socket).

TCP/IP scenario: A connection will timeout if the local system doesn't receive an (ACK)nowledgement for data sent. It would also timeout if a (FIN)ish TCP packet is not ACK'd (and even if the FIN is ACK'd, it will eventually timeout if a FIN is not returned).


Basically, you can ignore this if there are only a few.  If there are more than a few then you need to do some additional investigation.  Suggested testing includes:

  • Ping the remote host you were connected to. If it doesn't respond, it might be off-line or there may be a network problem along the way. If it does respond, then this problem might have been a transient one (so you can reconnect now), or the server application you were connected to might have terminated (so you might not be able to connect again).
  • Ping a local host to verify that your local network is still functioning (if on a serial connection, see next step)
  • Ping your local router address. If you're on a serial connection, your local router is the IP address of the host you initially logged onto with SLIP or PPP.
  • Ping a host on the same subnet as the host you were connected to (if you know one). This will verify that the destination network is functioning.
  • Try a "traceroute" to the host you were connected to. This won't reveal too much unless you know the router addresses at the remote end, but it might help to identify if the problem is somewhere along the way.
