From: drscrypt on 7 Jul 2010 10:42 To follow up on a recent thread on problems with the smtp package, the removal of Trf has not fully resolved the issue. It seems that the problem with sending large email messages still persist - and seems almost random except for the size of the messages. By large, I do not mean megabytes but around 10K. I have spent the last few days trying to resolve this, again. I thought stuff in tcllib were relatively safe and actively maintained by the TCT. Is that not the case? Should something as fundamental as smtp be suffering from bugs like this? DrS

The TCT does not maintain TclLib, the TCT oversees Tcl Core development (but does not do it all). Your reports have been the first against smtp in *years*. When your initial report came in, I verified (using gmail.com and cox.net) that I could send a fairly large attachments using 8.5 and 8.6. As Uwe Klein suggest, in this thread and several of us in your previous thread, try against another MTA -- I think several of us suspect the fault lies in the MTA or your connection. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Gerald W.
