[cobalt-users] XTR smtp mail server connectivity

["David A. Kirk" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

XTR  been running for nearly two months. When email is sent to my SMTP
server  on  the  Cobalt  50%  of  the time it'll take over 1 minute to
connect  to  the server. Outlook Express for example sits there with a
"connecting  to..."  dialog  for well over a minute. Then it times-out
and  you click on the "try again" and it goes right through that time.
One  Cobalt list member suggested that my reverse DNS was wrong (using
my  ISP's DNS) and he's checked it twice and both times said that it's
fine, on both of his DNS boxes. Using two different email clients with
the problem occuring with both so it's not a client issue, and it sure
is annoying.

Anybody have any ideas on what to check for?
