Public bug reported:

Hello,

package: linux-image-2.6.24-24-server
System: Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.3 AMD64 fully up-to-date
Mail daemon: Postfix

Mail with attachment fails to deliver to some remote mailservers. After
installing kernel package: linux-image-2.6.27-14-server the problem has
been solved. Also I have a system with an custom 2.6.18 kernel which
also has no problem delivering to the remote mailserver. MTU seems to be
no issue, since I can ping the remote server succesfully with 1500 bytes
packets.

# ping mailin.hetnet.nl -s 1472
PING mailin.hetnet.nl (213.75.3.30) 1472(1500) bytes of data.
1480 bytes from ews.kpnxchange.com (213.75.3.30): icmp_seq=1 ttl=122 time=4.69 
ms
1480 bytes from ews.kpnxchange.com (213.75.3.30): icmp_seq=2 ttl=122 time=4.92 
ms

The delivery fails with the error:
host mailin.hetnet.nl[213.75.3.30] said: 451 Timeout waiting for client input 
(in reply to end of DATA command)

Debug in postfix shows the following:

Perhaps some tcp issue or option in the kernel. But I couldn't figure
out the exact problem.

If more information is needed or some testing needs to be done, no
problem.
