Hello friends, I have a strange sort of problem. When I am sending mail using either sendmail or clients like Kmail or Sylpheed, a strange problem occus. When there are attachments in the mail, the send process cannot be completed. This problem does not occur if there are no attachments. I am including some of the log file which may help you in analysing the problem
1. This is log of my MailClient -------------------------------------------------------------- essage: Connecting to SMTP server: mail.softhome.net ... SMTP< 220 No spam, UCE, or bulk email allowed. ESMTP ESMTP> EHLO dsamla ESMTP< 250-softhome.net Ok. ESMTP< 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN ESMTP< 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN X-NETSCAPE-HAS-BUGS ESMTP< 250-XVERP=Courier ESMTP< 250-XEXDATA ESMTP< 250-XSECURITY=NONE,STARTTLS ESMTP< 250-PIPELINING ESMTP< 250-8BITMIME ESMTP< 250-SIZE ESMTP< 250 DSN ESMTP> AUTH LOGIN SMTP< 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 ESMTP> [USERID] SMTP< 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 ESMTP> [PASSWORD] SMTP< 235 Ok SMTP> MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SMTP< 250 Ok. SMTP> RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SMTP< 250 Ok. SMTP> DATA SMTP< 354 Ok. SMTP> . (EOM) -------------------------------------------------------------- After this there is not activity of the internet. The ppp0 interface is totally ended. All sites stops responding. etc. 2. This is the relevent port connection details obtained by the command "netsat -a |grep smtp" --------------------------------------------------------------- tcp 0 0 dsamla:smtp *:* LISTEN tcp 0 8819 203.199.171.50:1079 66.54.152.7:smtp ESTABLISHED tcp 0 8819 203.199.171.50:1079 66.54.152.7:smtp ESTABLISHED --------------------------------------------------------------- I feel that due to some reason the connection of these ports (8819) cannot be closed. This literally hangs the ppp0. That is I cannot ping the default gateway of any other sites etc. Local ping works. I am using RedHat 7.1 version 2.4.2-2 Has anybody faced similar problems.
