This is spooky.  Perhaps it's getting a bit too close to Halloween.

My qmail server has been in service for about 3 weeks now (installed on 
RedHat 6.0 from Memphis RPM's,  running on an old 386/40).  Everything 
works fine except for one server which has great trouble sending mail to my 
server.   It's running NTMail under Windows NT 4.0.  On my end, I see a log 
entry in /var/log/qmail-smtpd/, but no entry in /var/log/qmail/.  On the 
sending end, I see that the connection attempt was terminated by a Winsock 
error.

Oh.... The spooky thing?  30 seconds after this email appeared in my inbox, 
an email which the problem server has been trying to send me since 20:00 
GMT yesterday appeared.  Many of the emails it tries to send me do 
eventually appear, usually some time the following day.

I wasn't going to send this to the list until I had gathered a bit more 
info, but once I saw this post, I thought I'd mention it.  Sorry for the 
lack of hard data.....  but I would like to hear if anyone's heard of a 
similar problem.
