I had a problem like this a year ago and never found the solution. I changed
cables and net cards then built a new box for my email server and it seemed
to go away.

I am getting MANY calls from customers saying the connection to the server
is broken. Both on sending and receiving. The error they receive is that the
connection times out.

BUT

If I point them to a pop proxy or an smtp proxy on my network which then
talks to my vopmail server, it works ok.

What the heck is that?  Is there something about maxium MTUs for the
ethernet that could cause problems with remote dialup connections? Why would
talking to a server via a proxy be more stable than talking directly to it?
