Connection Refused by...

[Billy A. Pumphrey]

I'm starting a new topic on this one.  (came from another topic)

Yes, 10.1.1.2 is a exchange server that the mail goes to after
mailscanner.  I suppose it's a setting or something on the exchange
server or something but I wouldn't even know where to start.

What is 10.1.1.2?  Your internal mail server?  It means that this server
  isn't responding to a connection request on smtp (25) server.  This
usually means that the mail service is down, overwhelmed or the server
itself is down.
