None; it's purely speculation on my part. We're seeing the problem many
others have seen during busy periods: up to concurrencyremote number of
connections (180) to hotmail.com (or aol.com or whatever) and the inability
for any of our mail to get through.
Part of the reason for this is that we have our relay server broken apart
from where we actually store the e-mail. Thus, even deliveries to *our*
domains are remote, since they must go from our relay to our POP3/IMAP/&c.
