Re: [cobalt-users] mail server not responding msg

I get that too. Generally it's nothing to worry about, if mail delivery and
all other services were working fine before. The SMTP server stops accepting
connections after it has a certain number of open connections. Then the
Active Monitor comes along and tries to connect, but can't, so it thinks
it's down. After the mail logjam clears, the Active Monitor can then
connect, and thinks everything's OK.
I have a client who is an Ebay "Power Seller." He posts lots of items every
single day, so he has a LOT of e-mail flowing back and forth. After several
bids end, I get that mail warning message. The mail flow lightens by the
next Active Monitor check.
