The output looks different and there is no Enqueing and dequeing of messages. it is simply opening the connection(o),closing(c) and rejecting(x) connection.
1. How i can solve this problem?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
> 1) But can you expalin me how to identify these types
> of errors as a network problem?
Experience. These kinds of errors ("Error reading SMTP packet") relate to low-level network problems. Historically we have seen these errors when there have been network issues of one kind or another that is causing the transmission to take so long that the network connection has been closed.
> 2) In the below output what is the meaning for + and
>-symbols ?
Please refer to the Messaging Server Admin guide for explanation of logging ("MTA Logging Example: Inbound Connection Logging"):
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2650/6n4u4dtv9?a=view
In summary, - is outgoing and + is incoming connections.
Regards,
shane.
