Sorry, didn't explain that very well. Our client sends a large message to a user at msn and/or hotmail. Or a message is sent to our client who has a mail forwarding to a msn/hotmail account. What I "think" happens is that MSN/HOTMAIL drops the connection before the file is completely transferred if the recipient's mailbox size goes over limit during the transfer. I only see this when the file is pretty large and takes a while to transfer. When the files are smaller, or the mailbox is over limit to begin with, (and I don't know how to tell), then MSN/HOTMAIL rejects as it should with a nice error. But again, I'm speculating, and only because I've seen this behavior from MSN/HOTMAIL enough times with large messages to make me wonder why. At first I thought maybe they just had a size limit but now I think there is more to it. I may be totally wrong - just a working hypothesis.
