Here is the problem, although I can't say exactly what it is. It's taking
4 minutes for the remote mail server to respond to the "." command, which
it is required to respond to as soon as possible. The RFCs say it has to
respond ASAP because if the TCP/IP connection is broken between the time
IMail sends the "." and the remote server sends its response, IMail is
required to assume that the E-mail was NOT delivered, even though it may
have been. So IMail is doing the right thing in re-sending it.
The questions are:
o What is IMail's "s: s" log file entry?
o Did the remote server really take 4 minutes to respond? If so, it is at
fault.
o If IMail didn't get a response to the ".", why did it send a QUIT command?
o Why did the remote server respond to the "." when IMail sent the QUIT
command?
