We have a linux server running which acts as a mailserver too.  When we
connect to hotmail.com from any of the nodes connected to the mail server,
we get the following error message:

   "The connection with the server was reset. "

What could be the problems.

Is it a limitation on the host (hotmail.com) or a problem on our end?.

Could any one of you help me please.

Paul
