ASA5505 Dropping TCP connections for email with attachments

6Jun 24 201118:08:44209.85.213.5458623174.141.xx.xx25Deny TCP (no connection) from 209.85.213.54/58623 to 174.141.xx.xx/25 flags RST on interface outside

I am getting this error in my asdm logs whenever I try to send an email with an attachment. Regular email go through fine. If I send a 1mb file it seems to go through after several attempts. If I send a 5mb file it might go through anywhere between 4-15 hours. It doesn't matter where I send from. Sometimes it will say ACK or RST ACK on interface instead of RST. The ASA is running 8.3.1 code. I have tried inspect ESMTP and removed it, tried sysopt connection timewait. I am at a loss. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Could you take Wwireshark captures on the interfaces when mails with small attachments and large attachments go thorugh?

Regards,
