Synopsis: From Outlook Client to Sendmail: "A timeout occurred while communicating with the server"

State-Changed-Why: 
This isn't really a bug report, it is more of a help request, which
should be send to questions@freebsd.org.

I'd suggest that you begin by checking your sendmail log file to
see if you are getting connections from the windows machine. Try
using telnet on the windows machine to connect to port 25 (smtp)
or 110 (pop3) to check if the windows machine can connect. Try
running "tcpdump host name.of.windows.machine" and watching the
traffic it produces.

I've recently seen Outlook XP on Windows XP claim that it can't
connect to one mail server (of three listed), but it wasn't actually
sending any packets to the server. Rebooting Windows seemed to fix
the problem.
