Has anyone out there come up with a workaround to the problem that the Apollo shipped version of sendmail exhibits during tcp connections? Here is an example: >>> RCPT To:<btoll@swmfg.mentor.com> 250 <btoll@swmfg.mentor.com>... Recipient ok >>> DATA 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself >>> . btoll@swmfg.mentor.com... reply: read error btoll@swmfg.mentor.com... Deferred: No such file or directory My guess is that my side was waiting for something from the other end and it didn't get it. (I got the I don't know what I want from you, but I ain't gettin' it blues...). After awhile it got tired and went home. It looks like either: A) swmfg sent a message that I dropped or ignored B) Network slowness allowed me to alarm out C) ??? -- "There is a time to laugh and a time not to laugh and this is not one of them."
