hi,
I work on a Java based e-mail server. When I send mails to a Java-based SMTP Server from my SMTP Client, I get SocketException (saying "Software caused connection abort" on the windows platform and "Broken pipe" on Linux.). But when I send mails to Postfix, my client doesn't throw any exceptions. Somebody please help me out...
Broken Pipe on Linux tends to be due to one end of the socket closing down before the other end expects (usually you are trying to write a bit more to the socket and it has closed)
Could there be something with the SMTP protocol that is not being handled correctly? Have sniffed the traffic yet to watch the exchange?
(Ethereal is your friend - use it)
Anyway, without more details, this is hard to diagnose - but most likely your client is trying to send some extra data on the socket after the server has closed the socket.
