just a thought... could it be something like the way CC Mail's protocol stack
was broken, with fragmentation of the lines of text across multiple writes?

the original problem : CC Mail sends "helo", and Exim makes up the "HELO" on
the fly, with multiple write()s, but CCMail only does one blocking read()

could this be a similar problem?
