Hello,
I have tomcat 5.0.28 running on my Linux machine, and all my applications running under this tomcat experience the same problem at the same time which is why I believe it to be a tomcat issue.
When my applications attempt to send out an email I get this error message

(Mail server connection failed; nested exception is javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: xxxxxx, port: 25; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused)

The SMTP server is fine, because I can use it from other applications not on that tomcat server. I can also telnet into the SMTP server just fine from that same machine, so i don't believe its a server/port blocking issue on the OS or hardware level. The only way I am able to resolve the problem is to restart Tomcat. Once Tomcat is restarted, then all operation with emailing works fine again. I cannot seem to force the issue to happen so i don't know how reproduce it on demand, even though I know that would help in solving the issue. This problem just seems to come up randomly and wont go away until I restart tomcat. If anyone can please help me solve this issue that would be greatly appreciated. I have important applications running on this machine and its a great inconvenience to those using the applications when this problem comes up.
Thank you
-Ray
