[H-GEN] sendmail timeout problem

[johannes at paradise.net.nz]

Linux kernel 2.4.20.

Running sendmail 8.11.6 essentially works just fine except a couple of domains 
do consistently time out with the message "Deferred: Connection timed out 
with smtp.domain, or smtp2.domain"

Both domain names do resolve just fine.To traceroute them is also no problem.

The strange thing is that while sending mail by way of other isp's (other mail 
servers) there does not appear to be any problems.

Is there a sendmail configuration setting I am missing out on, or is this an 
issue entirely located at the receiving smtp server?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Johannes
