So I'm just a lowly user of a public access system, but I've discovered a problem and the sysadmin might be willing to implement the fix if it is straightforward enough.
The basic problem is this. When one sends a medium or long message (i.e. hits the send button), the compose page will try to connect to the server and sit there trying to connect until it times out. The message will not be successfully saved to the Sent Mail folder, but the message is always delivered to the addressee successfully. Nor does the message confirmation notice ever come up. If you try and refresh the folders while the compose message is still trying to connect, the refresh will time out as well. However, if it is just a short message (say a few paragraphs), it sends perfectly; the message saying that the mail has been successfully sent shows and the message is appropriately saved. There is no problem refreshing the folder after the message has been sent. I've tried this on a variety of different browsers (Safari, Chimera, Mozilla 1.2a - 1.3b, IE for Windows 5 & 6, and IE for Mac 5.1) and operating systems, all with the same result, so I can only conclude it is a server configuration problem. The server is running NetBSD on Alpha, and it is running Squirrelmail 1.2.10, although the problem also existed with SM 1.2.9. Does anyone have any insight as to what the problem might be? I've searched through the FAQ's and mailinglist archives with no success, so my apologies if this is an overly obvious question. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
