If you did not change the files: no. As I said: go thru a manual send and
check *where* the timeout occurs (better: repeat it a few times to be sure
it's always in the same phase). The messages in the logs are not very
clear about this. If your users have to authenticate before sending this
could be a typical point-of-failure where after the reboot the
authentication against an external mechanism is somehow hampered. I guess,
you do have any spam protection on the machine as you said it's not taking
external mail?
