Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connecti on._(#4.4.1)

Hi,
I see the above error in the log file too often and while this error is
reporting I can telnet to port 25 of the remote server and get see the
banner but with about 2-3 seconds. All of timeouts are default and I
have control/smtproutes file.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks,
Vahid.

Vahid,

See whether this issue happnes when there are many connection attempts
are being made from your system. They might be limitting the number of
simulteneous connections that they allow per IP.

They might, I will check with them (remote archiving company). I have
our remote concurrency to 100; I see sometimes 100/100 pumping to them.

Thanks AK,

100/100 simply means that that connection is the 100th out of the 100
concurrent you allow. It does not mean that there are 100 concurrent
connections going to them.

Look at www.lifewithqmail.org as to the structure of the qmail-send
process. This might help you determine what is going on.
