If you are using SSL on Exchange box, it could be a windows update issue. A
patch they released weeks ago introduced error in our environment. Client
system (W2K and XP) were updated with SUS but the Exchange server (NT
4.0....XCHNG 5.5) was not. After doing XCHNG server manually with
updates...all worked again.

Hope this helps.

excerpt from K831167...

The 832894 security update (MS04-004) and the 821814 hotfix change how the
Internet extensions for Windows (Wininet.dll) retries POST requests when a
Web server resets the connection. Programs that use Windows Internet
(Wininet) application programming interface (API) functions to post data
(such as a user name or a password) to a Web server retry the POST request
without including the POST data if the Web server closes (or resets) the
initial connection request.
