This is one that Ipswitch would have to answer, as it is something 
new.  But I can make a guessL

>!= 78

 From a programming standpoint, 4294967295 is equal to -1, which happens to 
be the code used for a "SOCKET_ERROR".  It sounds like the last log file 
entry there is occurring because IMail expected to get a result of 78 
(because it sent 78 bytes), but it got back a -1.  My guess is that the 
connection was terminated on the remote end, but in a way that IMail didn't 
handle it as it normally should have, resulting in that odd error message.

But, the "SOCKET_ERROR" response from the send() command could occur for 
many different reasons.

>20040419 085941 127.0.0.1       SMTP (0A3462E9) [E] didn't send ".
>": connection reset

This, however, supports the theory that their mailserver is terminating the 
connection.
