Because of these issues on Tango3.52, I developed and still use, a

You've got to suspect the OSX SMTP server, I think. What's the failure
rate like with another SMTP server? Do you have one you can test with (I
do...)
There are a number of alternative SMTP OS X servers around, but I'd understand if you dudn't want to fool with the one you're using now...
I have a very simple mail action in a taf that is processed through the smtpserver on the same box and always goes to the same local address. 90% of
the time the taf is hit, it works fine. Otherwise, the browser gets an
error for the failure of the mail action. I get nervous about placing that
action into a production environment with such a high error message rate.
What are the factors that contribute to mail action failure?
