Just noticed something a bit strange, so wanted to ask what values others are using.
We have a client communicating with someone else also running SmarterMail. I noticed that the emails are always timing out when sending to them, so I'm guessing their RBLs are taking over the default 1 minute.
Example below, changed IPs as I don't want to call the person out.

[2016.12.17] 00:59:53 [47646] The smtp session has timed out.
Question is why is it that we'll wait 2 minutes for SMTP In, but only 1 minute for SMTP Out? SMTP is SMTP after all, so RFC should be the same in and out. (Looked it up, and it actually seems to be 5 minutes, but that does seem like a long time.)
