Exim loses SMTP connections

[dgtangelo]

I've a problem on Exim. I can't receive e-mail from several servers becouse the connection seem goes timeout.

Here the example of exim logs related to a server (88.149.157.110) that I'm sure it's ok (It send a newsletter that I receive from 1999 until I've changed server in november 2006).

2006-12-18 18:25:57 SMTP connection from [88.149.157.110]:50713 I=[xx.xx.xx.xx]:25 lost
2006-12-18 18:26:15 ident connection to 88.149.157.110 timed out
2006-12-18 18:27:13 SMTP connection from [88.149.157.110]:49702 I=[xx.xx.xx.xx]:25 (TCP/IP connection count = 9)
2006-12-18 18:27:15 ident connection to 88.149.157.110 timed out
2006-12-18 18:27:39 SMTP connection from [88.149.157.110]:49700 I=[xx.xx.xx.xx]:25 lost
2006-12-18 18:28:23 SMTP connection from [88.149.157.110]:49702 I=[xx.xx.xx.xx]:25 lost

The problem isn't limited to this sender but about 7-8% of sender servers have the same problems.
It's a big problem that I don't know how solve. Any ideas?

Are you blocking outgoing connections to port 113 (ident)?

If you are having some sort of mail issue (presumably from your bumping this very old thread), I would suggest that you start a new thread and give us a description of your problem and the users here will try to help you but just bumping a 3 year old thread is not going to do you much good especially when your problem may be something entirely and completely different!
