SMTPD Connection Timeout always after 2 seconds

hMailServer Version 3.2.1 build 29
Database : MySQL Version 4.0.18-nt

My Problem: SMTPD Connection timeout consistently after 2 seconds

"SMTPD" 1948 "2004-07-24 06:27:15.500" "203.106.227.130" "SENT: 354 ok send! end with <crlf>.<crlf>"
"SMTPD" 1948 "2004-07-24 06:29:15.562" "203.106.227.130" "SENT: 421 Connection timeout.[nl]"

I have been seeing this timeoout problem quite often resulting in the email being stuck at the other end. It always timeouts after 2 seconds. Any way of increasing the timeout value or ideas on how to get around this?

Thanks!

It's not two seconds between "06:27:15.500" and "06:29:15.562".
This is two minutes and not two seconds. There is currently not a way to decrease this time. If the client doesn't send any data for two minutes the SMTP server disconnects.

To clarify: This is a timeout between your SMTP client (such as outlook) and the server.

Thanks - sorry about the mistake about seconds and minutes.

However the log is from a conversation between another server trying to transfer an email to the hmailserver's SMTPD (not a local outlook client using pop3). Still getting this log but only from certain servers - luckily not from common ones like Yahoo or Hotmail etc.

OK. That's the same. A server trying to send an email message ot hMailServer acts the same way as Outlook trying to send the message.

Could you turn on debug logging and send the log to me when it occurs the next time?

Does it happen to a lot of servers or only from like 2-3?
Does it happen every time when a message comes from theese servers?

Don't think this is a hmailserver error :\

Hi,

Was this issue ever resolved?

I am getting the same timeout error without receiving messages from a small number of mail servers.
Two examples are:

mx3.dnsmadeeasy.com (strangely mx1. and mx2. work fine)
smtpout.karoo.kcom.com

All mail from these servers times out ( connection timeout ) and the messages are stuck at the other end.

Any help in solving or diagnosing this problem would be very gratefully received.
