Dear All, We are having problem with our Exchange 2000 server in which some outgoing emails to certain domains (like yahoo.com) are delayed and finally dropped. The message link queues properties show message "Connection is dropped by remote host". This has been going on for quite a while and we are wondering whether something has gone wrong in our server's setting. Our server is behind raptor firewall which doesn't have any restriction for outgoing, and only restrict smtp to go in. Any help will greatly be appreciated..
