OK.. I did that and then posted the results when it froze up here: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26112 > Here you'll get the direct conversation with the server, and not the tcp > headers and whatnot - its easier to read.

I did create a new bug report: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26885 I had assigned you to it, but didn't create a summary so I had to go back and do that.. At that point your email got nixed and I didn't notice so it went to the general bug delivery email. > > Usually after 5 or so minutes a message will bounce back up to the > > screen with an error if it hasn't been sent.. > > Error while 'Sending "RE: Proposal"': > > DATA response error: message termination: Service not available, closing > > transmission channel: mail not sent > That sounds like its more of a server issue :-/ but the logs and > backtrace should help to identify it - at worst evolution *should* > recover from this anyway and not lockup forever. Yes.. Especially as it has been working in the past.. Just the last two weeks or so which have been hellish trying to send mail.

Maybe > that should be looked at. Would be good to saved when it is sent aswell as every minute. Just cause if it doesn't go through - would be nice if it wasn't lost..

I may try again to set something like this up.. Just seems like such a pain and I'm already quite behind..
