We just upgraded to use Exchange 2007 SMTP over the weekend, it is running fine for other emails but I did get 2 random errors below when sending SMTP email:

This was fine with Exchange 2003.   Anyway the issue is random and repair it works fine, just wondering if you've came across this.   I searched Google but didn't find any definitive answer.

'This is with .NET 2.0's SMTP client.   Default timeout is 100 seconds.

        Dim objMsg As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
        Dim objSender As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient

Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: 4.4.1 Connection timed out

Where any changes made to hardware or network setup when Exchange 2007 was installed? I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I know that IPv6 has to be installed to use Exchange 2007. My only trouble I have ever had with Exchange and K2 was the Exchange Server's spam filtering technology would not allow the server emails to pass so policy adjustments had to be made.

Random error still exists (which is fixed by a try/catch - resend), but hardware definitely changed from 32-bit to 64-bit VM for Exchange 2007.

I also have a similar issue, did you find a solution?  Script worked in 2k3 but once I upgraded to 2k7 it no longer works.  Any additional help is appreciated.

If it doesn't work 100% of the time then you need to add the authentication machine in Exchange 2007.  Talk to your Exchange admin about security.  


I ended up sending to a different smtp receiver and that worked fine.   I haven't tried pointing back after Exchange 2007 SP2.
