Through the observation.

- Server have no highload symptom or suspicious action from the event logs.
- Smartermail service is not restarted or recycling during the time.
- All recipient account is exist under server and only random transmission facing email not reach intended recipient after processing.
- The tracked delivery logs have no significant error but only showed queue 2 hours.

I have been experiencing a similar issue. I am trying to track down missing emails. I see them in the SMTP log, but they never show up in the delivery log.
 
The error I am trying to find more information on is the line in the SMTP log: rsp: 221 Service closing transmission channel
 
It appears my SmarterMail server is ending the conversation, the rsp should be my server
So far I have whitelisted the entire IP range
Increased the threshold for my IDS
Increased SMTP timeouts
 
This is happening from a few other customers
