How am I supposed to know if this is a timeout trying to open a port as opposed to making a successful socket connection and then not receiving a response to the HELO command? Now based on your response that there is no dialog, I understand this is a socket connection timeout. Otherwise there would be an HELO in the dialog. I'm not sure how my config can cause that but at least I have a place to start now.
