Hi Charlie - Well, I'm uncertain what to tell you. My suspicion, since I have heard of no one having this particular sort of problem (there is a large XMail user base running 1.21 on Linux) is that there is something being overlooked. I would double check your findings as "scientifically" as possible, and make absolutely certain that what you think you are seeing is really what you are seeing. Make certain that the addresses you are using are all valid, that the logs are definately not reporting anything strange, your XMail server.tab settings look right, and so on.
If you are certain about your findings, then I would start looking at other apps that may be interfering or trying to bind to the ports, such as Sendmail (which should be disabled, or at least XMail and Sendmail should be binding to different ports). If that all looks good, I would test your connection to make certain that packets aren't dropping or something. make certain your MTU setting is correct (if you are connecting via DSL PPP then it is likely less than the default of 1500 as I recall). I have had incorrect MTU settings cause intermittent failures that can be difficult to pin down. Without at least one or two other people verifying the findings or seeing the behavior, it probably indicates to an misconfiguration (of some sort) or an anomaly on your system. Did you try searching the forums for any similar user experiences? Jeff Charlie Qualls wrote: >Hey there Jeff, > >I forgot, this also happens if listing several people in the "to" >address field.
