CentOS - Jan 2008 - Sendmail timout errors

I have 2 Centos servers that are currently giving me grief, 

I am getting the error:-

SYSERR(root): timeout writing message to mail.server.co.uk

Resource temporarily unavailable

This is on both servers 

1 is Centos 4.x & the second is:-
sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6
sendmail-cf-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6
sendmail-devel-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6

Any clues ?

Thanks

Denis

Yes, your MTAs seem to have a problem writing to mail.server.co.uk,
which is why the connection gets a timeout after some time.

Which is astonishing, as there is no SMTP server listening on that host,
so there should be a temporary error - but not the one you are getting.

Well, maybe they had a problem with mail.server.co.uk and are fixing the
problem at the moment.

Cheers,

Ralph

Hi 
Sorry, I used mail.server.co.uk as an example, it is happening on approx 10
or so servers.
