Davide, I don't have any filters, but I have might restart the
XMail and/or the computer. I assume if I restart Xmail - XMail
will finish job correctly (I mean either finish receiving
messages that already in progress and then shutdown or just add
<cr><lf> at the end of unfinished message), as well as if I
restart computer without shutting down Xmail first. Is that true?

If that's true, then we just narrowed down the problem to a
system crash. If that's the case, then how important it is for
XMail to expect <cr><lf> a the end of file? Is EOF flag is not
good enough?



Thanks,
Lev Shamilov
