Mail .medvoice.com actually resolves to the mail server inside through
port forwarding. <br>
It's not really named that just everything going to the mail ports ends
up there.<br>
Would DNS still be an issue for sending internal mail.<br>
I ran top during one of these unresponsive email spats and noticed that
there are no smtp processes listed.<br>
If I wait long enough or if i restart posfix they come back.<br>
Is there some where I can look to determine if they a timing out and
having issues restarting?<br>

Bandwidth and DNS are the likely culprits.

Possibly someone who knows a *lot* more about DNS management than I do
can look at his DNS management? I have the ttl (IN) for "A" and "PTR" at
3600s for my web site. Faster, if one changes IP address. He has those
ttl at 100000s.
Possibly he could use the IP address more, in DNS management?
I've had the SMTP service die, over the past 68 months, approximately
10-15 times, on a RH server (shared hosting). Never daily. Services and
processes sometimes die mysteriously, but probably not on a daily basis.

Possibly those should be in different order? (I have mine, NS1, NS2, NS3, NS4 from top to bottom)
