server dropped connection without sending the initial greeting
I am running postfix server. One of my users is trying to send an email to verizonwirless.com and postfix is droping the connection. I cant figure this one out, why am I getting this error:
-------------------------- ---------- ----
Apr 3 05:05:13 mail1 postfix/smtp[12542]: 81A218CA83: to=<******.******@VerizonW ireless.co m>, relay=none, delay=306603, status=deferred (connect to mercury.verizonwireless.co m[162.115. 227.109]: server dropped connection without sending the initial greeting)
-------------------------- ---------
I confirmed that mail was going to the right location
-------------------------- ---------
nslookup -q=MX VerizonWireless.com
mercury.VerizonWireless.co m internet address = 162.115.227.109
-------------------------- ---------
The funny thing is that it takes a good 5-8 seconds for the initial greeting from verizonwireless.com email server when I
"telnet mercury.VerizonWireless.co m 25"
I do have "smtpd_helo_required = yes" in my main.cf
Could smtp_helo_timeout be the trick?

smtp_helo_timeout = 300s
smtp_connect_timeout = 30s
I changed smtp_connect_timeout to 300s
I will let you know if this worked.
Thanks
