This error looks a little different than the others who have had problems with earthlink/hotmail/ etc. We never got a timeout error this way, and I don't remember seeing it in the previous thread.
To rephrase, on two subject windows servers, one NT & one 2000, with different version of xmail, behave exactly the same. When smartDNShost is not used, we get the errors. When smartDNShost is used, and pointed at the windows DNS server on the same machine as xmail, the errors do not occur. It just doesn't seem correct to say that its a windows DNS problem since the solution of the problem is to use a windows DNS server for smart host. According to Davide, xmail without smartdnshost, goes all the way to root for its dns resolutions. It seems as if it were a Windows DNS problem, setting smarthost to a windows DNS server would cause the problem, and not solve it.
