I implemented the below directions as per Uwe's directions (Thanks!)
and it seemed to work as advertised, but I received the following in
my /var/log/syslog file after the changes:
Feb 15 09:44:36 smtp01.load.com smtpd: [ID 748625 mail.info]
982259076.193065 tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to print
banner: broken pipe
The connection is being made from a Win2K system to relay the mail
through a load balance mail sending queue that sits behind a Cisco
Arrowpoint. I am not sure where the problem lies, but after a while
it seems that the queue on the Win2K system just keeps building up
and not sending after a while. I don't know if anyone else is having
a problem with communication between a Microsoft SMTP server and qmail
but I would be interested in any experiences anyone has in this area.
Thanks.
