If you drop the connection instead of sending a 5xx, the remote server will simply put you in the retry queue. If you let it get up to 5 MB each time, you are opting for 20 x 5 MB = 100 MB of wasted network and disk I/O over the message's lifetime, instead of 20 MB. -Sandy To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
