    I realize 4.3.3-10 is ridiculously out of date, but I've been tasked with
    resolving the issue anyway.

    I have two systems, virtually identical in terms of hardware, both running
    the same OS level and ptfs. They also both use the same sendmail.cf file.

    One host sends mail successfully to our mail relay, one doesn't. I've
    verified (3 times) with our email guys that *both* hosts are configured to
    access these servers, and gone so far as to view the ACL for myself to
    verify it.

    Regardless, I still receive the message "Deferred: A remote host did not
    respond within the timeout period." from one host, when sending mail. The
    other host sends the mail just fine.

    From the problematic host, I've also verified that I can connect to the
    mail relay (as specified in the DS record in sendmail.cf) port 25, so I
    don't believe this is a network/firewall issue.

    Any suggestions?
