We too get these errors randomly in a router that looks like:

lookuphost:
driver = dnslookup
self = fail
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0/8 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more

I emailed Philip about it a while back, and he acknowledged that it
might be a bug of sorts, but it didn't happen often enough for me to
be able to get any useful debug information. I only get the message
maybe 2 or 3 times a week, and sometimes not even that.

It may be some sort of OS descriptor resource running low, since
clearly the "smtp" port is well defined in /etc/services.
