OK first let me clarify that I am not saying postfix is to blame, I think it's exchange, but that’s not the point.
I am looking to understand/learn what is going wrong and see how on the postfix side I can figure out whats going on.
This is happening from 3 postfix servers, and happening to several clients, me being the common factor.

These two links will show you the connections on the exchange side:

My question is 1st: Why does the postfix timeout not drop the connection on the postfix side ( which may or may not drop the exchange side it of course has no control of that ) This shows me the connection is active, and it's longer then the timeouts in postfix.

2nd: with the settings I have is there something additional I should be setting to insure I drop my connection if their connection takes too long?


I think these are logical questions to ask and please understand I am not fully versed in all of the high level things that happen during normal and abnormal email communications. Hence why I am here asking....

I will place all the info I can here so you don't have to revert back to the original post. I am trying to provide as much as I can dig up in order to help see my problem clearer...

Thanks everyone!

When the connection from postfix eventually times out I see :
(conversation with client's server here timed out while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once)

When the connection from postfix is stuck on the clients server I see:
