Re: Inconsistent outgoing messages to one domain

Check SMTP logs and see what is going on.  They should show you the entire 
SMTP conversation.  Compare 2 messages - 1 that is successful and 1 that 
isn't, and see what the difference is.

SMTP logging is enabled on the properties of the SMTP Virtual Server.  I 
recommend using the default logging, and going to the advanced options and 
enabling all extended logging.
