After it sends the mail, can you tell if the connection to the smtp server is still open? If so, can you explicitly disconnect from your script? Also, is this a script (or handler) run under mod_perl? If so, does this occur only under mod_perl, or does the same thing occur when mod_perl is disabled and an ordinary cgi script is used? If it is run under mod_perl, are all further server connections blocked after the first mail is sent, or is it just the smtp connection that's blocked? -- best regards, randy kobes
