Thanks for everyone's reply to my initial message. There is certainly
an issue with my server's IP address, and I tend to agree with Jethro's
take on this. Kerio does not allow modifying the timeout duration,
therefore my hands are tied.

The problem has also presented itself as well on a Sendmail box
(thanks to the individual who offered up their Sendmail box as a test).
Although I would prefer to know the exact reason why this is occuring
I have resolved the problem by relaying through an internal node.
