Timeout after "." on smaller messages and in the middle of transmission
on large-size messages usually mean TCP connection issues, most common
reason is PMTUD blackhole router problem.

On any size message they can be due to a too-small timeout on the
client end (five _minutes_ per standards, I think) and content scanning
done on the server end (the content not being available for scan until
it has all arrived).


Actually, it's way more than that:
Initial 220 Message: 5 Minutes
MAIL Command: 5 Minutes
RCPT Command: 5 Minutes
DATA Initiation: 2 Minutes
Data Block: 3 Minutes. This is while awaiting the completion of each TCP SEND call transmitting a chunk of data.
DATA Termination: 10 Minutes

So the minimum timeout for 1 message is about 30 minutes. That said, many systems don't wait that long, unfortunately.
