I have an Exchange 2003 organization and I'm receiving a lot of events
ID 7010 in the Application Event Viewer. The error is:

"This is an SMTP protocol log for virtual server ID 1, connection #48.
The client at "217.169.125.103" sent a "xexch50" command, and the SMTP
server responded with "504 Need to authenticate first ". The full
command sent was "xexch50 984 2". This will probably cause the
connection to fail.

As a side effect, I have problems sending mail from internal network
to the mail servers listed in the event error (217.169.125.103 for
example): the emails remain in the outbound queue until NDR message.
If I restart the SMTP service the mails leave the queue correctly.

Please could someone help?
Many thanks in advance,

Regards
Dario
