The timeout depends on your retry settings. I am currently in Maputo, on
the end of a very slow network connection, and I cannot devote much time
to email. If you want to do further checking, the thing to do would be
to send a test message to one of the failing domains, with debugging
enabled, and using the -N command line option so that it doesn't
actually get delivered. The debugging output should give some clue as to
why it is bouncing. (I presume you are using release 4.50; if not, scan
the ChangeLogs to see if there's anything relevant that has been
changed.)
