I don't really expect an answer to this, but I'm wondering if anyone else
has seen anything similar?

I'm running assp ASSP 1.3.1(22) together with Mercury/32 on the same W2k pro
box, and its doing a great job - no spam *at all* and no false positives.

There is however, one problem: mail from xtra.co.nz is delivered but the
smtp session is not terminated properly, with the result that the xtra.co.nz
servers keep retrying. Fortunately only one person is sending email to us
from this domain because each time they do we get multiple copies of the
same email.

I think I have tracked it down to the session termination - with assp
running the mail session is complete up to the point where Mercury sends a
"250 Data received Ok", and then nothing is received back. After a while the
connection is dropped:

Mercury smtp session log (assp dbg log shows the same thing):

06:10:39.297: << 250 Data received OK.<cr><lf>
06:12:33.770: --- Connection closed normally at Sat Apr 21 06:12:33 2007.
---

Presumably xtra.co.nz doesn't see a correct termination because it trys
again later. It's the same in every one of the 48 copies.

In the end I shutdown assp, and ran Mercury on port 25, and the next time
the mail was delivered, the session completed normally, and no further
delivery attempts have been made:

23:10:36.789: << 250 Data received OK.<cr><lf>
23:10:36.089: >> RSET<cr><lf>
23:10:36.089: << 250 Command processed OK.<cr><lf>
23:10:39.264: >> QUIT<cr><lf>
23:10:39.264: << 221 smtp.iws.uk.com Service closing channel.<cr><lf>
23:10:39.264: --- Connection closed normally at Sun Apr 22 23:10:39 2007.
---

Now we are back to normal with assp running, at least until we get another
email from xtra.co.nz.

This *only* happens with xtra.co.nz. Any ideas?

Thanks, Ian
