Connection Deffered

[Seamus Allan]

I had a similar problem with my receiving mail server behind a 
MailScanner gateway. Turned out I just needed to turn up the number of 
connections per minute on the smtp on the mail server so that it didn't 
think the Mailscanner machine was flooding it.
I don't know if this is the case with Exchange, but perhaps gives you 
something to look at?

Cheers

Seamus.
