Yup. A slow response, or other exception after the initial socket
connection would do it. There is a lot of code inside Sun's service
providers that eats useful exceptions and doesn't expose them to the client.
A bit too much insulating the driver from the road.
If the socket connection times out, you get the nested exception, but if the
server response is slow, disconnects in mid-stream, or returns something
like 554, you get zilch for explanation.
Serge, according to his logs, James did move to the next MX record. And
then received the same result.

Hi,
For example, I have seen several cases where the 220 response can take well
over 30 seconds to be sent by the remote SMTP server. Sometimes this can be
to fight spam and sometimes the remote server can simply be very very busy.
In theory James should move on to the next MX record and try again, I would
expect it to go through eventually.

this means that James is able to resolve the host, but cant connect to it
when it tries, the connection times out.
