Well I have quite a few mail users and definately do not run the default for routers.. Since it looks to be mail-only related I went ahead and bumped the routers up another 5 so we'll see how that looks.. One thing to note is this seemed to have started happening after I added a new customers office with about 20 OL clients.. Lots of hung connections show from their registered IP space so it might be something with OL terminations... (lots of POP3 hung)
