Several of our peer mail systems (outbound) seem to take a while responding to initial SMTP connections.
Is there any particularly dread pitfall to watch out for in bumping these values up? 20s for connection, 40s for HELO is where we're at presently. My main fear would be resource exhaustion, though this seems like it would be a low risk. If there are saner ways of going about this (e.g.: secondary delivery queues, etc.) I'd be interested in hearing about them. Though the approach we've taken appears simple and effective so far.
