My understanding of this timeout value, from a practical point of view, is that the 'write action' must be finished before the timeout expires, or the connexion will be dropped. As there is no acknowledge from the SMTP server while the message is being sent, but only at the end, there can be a long time between server sending 'ok, start to write the message' and 'ok I received the message'. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. So it should always be larger than the time needed to send the largest message. -- Xavier Nodet _______________________________________________ Mahogany-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mahogany-users
