Not all users are experiencing this issue and only seems to affect some outside SMTP connections.  I had to rebuild our Mail Server because of hardware problems so I did a fresh build on new hardware.  We are on Linux RH 8.0.  I can send mail to other SMTP's and here is a weird twist to the problem.  I have  a user with email address of first name.last name with an alias of first initial.lastname.  She cannot send to a specific e-mail she gets the same error stating deferred connection timed out.  But I can successfully send to that address with no problems.  What seems to be the issue.  I have looked at the MTU, but if some emails are being sent out I figured that could not be the issue.  Also, we are receiving fine with no problems.
