I have 2 Centos servers that are currently giving me grief,

SYSERR(root): timeout writing message to mail.server.co.uk

This is on both servers

Any clues ?

Yes, your MTAs seem to have a problem writing to mail.server.co.uk, which is why the connection gets a timeout after some time.

Which is astonishing, as there is no SMTP server listening on that host, so there should be a temporary error - but not the one you are getting.

Well, maybe they had a problem with mail.server.co.uk and are fixing the problem at the moment.
