How's 2 minutes sound? I found this on the web but I can't say I know personally.
http://www.softwar.com/documentation/ucm/ucm0f040.html#I2 Description: Some SMTP mail systems can appear to be quite slow, possibly because they are on slow or congested networks, or because of high CPU load. There are several options that you can tweak to allow for these slow connections. The Orquit option applies to the amount of time that the sending system will wait for an acknowledgment from the receiving system after the "QUIT" command has been sent. If an acknowledgment timeout occurs, the connection is dropped and the message is queued for redelivery. Values: 0 seconds - 9999 weeks Default: 2 (minutes) Notes: For more information about the SMTP protocol and commands, refer to section D.2 Simple Mail Transport Protocol. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Devan Namboothirippad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 1:39 AM Subject: SMTP Timeout... > Can anybody pls help me with the standard read timeout value for an SMTP > Server? > > -- > > Devan. > > > > > ------------------------------------------------- > QuantumLink Communications Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, India > > > !-- Virus-Free Mail Using PostMaster Enterprise AvAc & QuickHeal Engine --! > > > > ------------------------------------------------- > QuantumLink Communications Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, India > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
