Hello Arno, I see in the log that there is 5 seconds delay between DATA and the 10054 error. This may be interesting.
During this delay do you send data ? I say this because some server will close cnx if no data transmitted fast enought and do not receive data for xx seconds, usually the timeout is between 1 or 3 minutes but I know a server that wait only 3 seconds (may be bad configuration). The best is to ask client to manualy telnet port 25 into the server and type a SMTP sequence and wait 5 seconds betweent each line you type. Also may be there is some "check-back" cnx to the client's machine and if FW is ON then machine cannot be "checked". regards.
