No, no-oneever told me about such problems. Note that there are no timeout mechanisms in SFS, so a slow SFS server can only cause a slowdown of MAILIT. At the other hand, if the SMTP server on VM is slowed down, maybe the mail server it is sending mail too gets impatient? MAILIT can not know if SMTP dislikes a mail file: it doesn't communicate with SMTP: it simply creates a spool file and send that to SMTP. If you suspect MAILIT gives RC 0 when a file to attach isn't found, simply try it out? Like this MAILIT TEST TO(xxxx at yyyy) subject test attach(notexist file) text this is a test
