Daniel,
Thanks for responding. The error I am getting says:
The tast could not be completed as the connection to the server timed out
(10054).
This happens even when I have the time out of 5 minutes and the connection
to the server is through ISDN line shared among four people. There is no
problem in receiving the mails, whatever the size be.
There are no hardware changes on the client as well as the server end.
When I see the logs at the server it has entries for the connection, mail
from and then the first rcpt. There are no entries related to that
connection thereafter.
