Marck, Thanks for your note.
I purposefully omitted those details because I want to approach the problem by setting a timeout, regardless of the reason for the hanging. Something is likely to cause such a problem again (network latency, server down...) and, because I use theBat to redirect mail to a mobile device, I am rarely there to abort the job manually. I would like it to timeout, abort the job, and try again later. That said, I am running Win2K Pro, TB 1.53d, and no ZoneAlarm. I do have Norton Antivirus running. Any insights you have would be appreciated.

This is sometimes attributable to the use of ZoneAlarm. You don't say what version of TB you are using nor on which operating system. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
