This is exactly what I meant...One thing to look for would be errors in the
log....the most common ones would be Winsock errors with error codes 10053
and 10054...on the SMTPD service...This usually indicate something going
wrong in the networking subsystem and since they are on the SMTPD portion
they would be interruptions during the receipt of messages to be processed
by the SMTP step.
