Hi all,
we're experiencing strange connection problem between our web and smtp
server. The error message returned is :

"The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code
was 0x800ccc6a. The server response was 451 Timeout waiting for client input
".

However it does'nt happen everytime. We are having like 50% of rejected
mails.
The language is ASP using CDO object and the smtp server is an exchange.

Thanks a lot guys.
Nicolas

If the code is the same for sending messages that succeed and those that
fail then it sounds like it is failing somewhere in the smtp conversation
between the two servers. To find more information on where it is failing I
would get a network monitor trace between the two servers. You can then
filter it on SMTP traffic and see at what point it's failing. If it always
fails at the same point then you'll know where to concentrate. If it's
random then you may be having network problems. Is your IIS configured to
send to a smarthost (the Exchange Server)? If so is it sending all mail to
Exchange or just certain domains? Anything else in your configuration that
may be a clue? Does the same message to the same recipient always fail or
sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
