This is probably the critical piece of information - the TCP connection has stopped transferring data for some reason and the rdump is blocked waiting to send. Unfortunately, you need the last packets that were exchanged in order to identify which end has the problem (and hopefully provide some pointers as to why). If possible, can you repeat the dump whilst you run a tcpdump on the rdump flow and then post the last dozen or so packets in each direction. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
