Yeah, same here, and even some timeouts connecting to their mail server. To get
around that I just configured Postfix to relay through Sympatico's smtp
server (instead of direct from my mail client), and I never got any timeouts
from Postfix, all mail went through, no delays, and no watching the 'sending'
dialogue in Sylpheed for eons.
