What _is_ your connection's speed? And how big is the file that's being sent?
Given the answers to those questions, is 8 minutes within a reasonable time
period for the size of the attachment being sent?

The 'Abort Received' indicates that the connection was dropped unexpectedly,
causing OpenTransport to give SIMS an error (the 'Unexpected T_GODATA,
OTLook=256'). One possible scenario might be that transfer stalled for some
reason, causing the receiving server to time out and summarily drop the
connection. Without more information, though, it's impossible to tell whether
or not that scenario is actually likely, or what might be causing the
hypothetical 'stall.'
