How to investigate timeouts?

[Jody Cleveland]

Hello,

I've got a redhat server that scans mail before being forwarded on to an
exchange server. For redundancy, I've actually got two servers before
the mail gets to the exchange server.

First, it hits destiny.winnefox.org. If everything goes ok, it goes on
to mail.winnefox.org. If there's a problem, it goes to
mystique.winnefox.org, which is also a redhat server. I've been noticing
a good amount of mail that is being scanned by mystique. Best I can
figure, destiny times out checking the message, so it goes on to
mystique.

Is there a way for me to look for something in the logs that would
indicate a timeout? I checked var/logs/maillog, but didn't notice any
errors in it.
