I've never got these messages. Can you ping your smtp host OK form the
console?

I get socket closed unexpectedly sometimes from  mac clients. From
PC's they seem OK. On the most part it seems to work. I'm getting some
errors delivering mail locally after pegasus has received them from
the world. I'm thinking about putting the bindery version back on it
seems a bit smoother maybe? Connection timeout suggests IP routing
erros according to the mercury FAQ. Stay in touch. Let me know how you
go.
