Have you looked?  Are messages being queued after ibm.net refuses the
smtp connection?

Not when the recipient's smtp server refuses connections.

We run our mail queue more often than that but IBM will refuse connections
for quite a while sometimes.  This is probably due to overloaded smtp
servers on their end.  At least we don't have to wait for the connection
attempt to time out before moving on to other mail in our queue.
