I guess it will not do any good to tell you to upgrade to 8.0? :)

Just to verify - the problem is on the side of the servers (TCP listeners)?

I'm not sure what you are tracing but this trace looks like something 
having to do with DNS.

Does DNS resolve properly on the box? Reverse DNS also? Some servers, 
ssh and probably sendmail also, do a reverse DNS lookup on the 
connecting client.

Just the generic ones... try seeing if DNS and reverse DNS work first.
