There is an 11 minute pause between when Blat was successful, and when Blat=
fails. This is good in that Blat is not trying to overload the server. H=
owever, is it possible that the sending email account was flagged as sendin=
g spam during that 11 minute break?
The above log is from seven days ago, does that location continue to have p=
roblems sending emails? Is it having trouble sending some emails, all emai=
ls, or does this problem happen infrequently? For clarification, this loca=
tion is the only one that is experiencing problems?
