Description C 2004-08-25 20:23:51 UTC

Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.3-4mdk

This is Kmail on Mandrake 10, official download 
release.

Short messages get sent fine.

Longer messages just stay in the outbox after being
delivered 90-99%. However, the (aborted) messages do
reach  receiver after the cancel button (bottom right 
corner when message is being delivered) is clicked.
The message stays in the outbox, after delivery is 
aborted.

The connection to the MTA is over SSL and requires
authentication.

Kmail on Mandrake 9.2 delivers all sorts of messages
to the same MTA with the same connection settings.

Comment 1 C 2004-08-25 21:17:40 UTC

Note that Kmail connects to the MTA over a phone line
in this case.

Comment 2 C 2004-08-29 08:37:41 UTC

The MTA is qmail. Here is a reply from the qmail mailing list
about this problem.

Yes, but "too slow" is very slow indeed -- abominably slow.

This isn't evidence of a slow connection -- it's evidence of an SMTP receiver
which doesn't respond to the end of the data phase of the SMTP conversation
(i.e., the sender sends CRLF.CRLF and doesn't get a response).

The above report doesn't indicate whether qmail is the receiving SMTP agent,
or the sending one.  If the latter, show us your qmail-send logs.

can you still reproduce this with the current version of KDE (4.3) ?

Comment 4 Martin Koller 2009-10-08 21:39:15 UTC

No response - closing. If it is still reproducible, please reopen.
