Betreff: Re: [EXIM] SMTP timeout after DATA
Hi!

Have a look at the message that is sent to this host.

Some MTAs are pretty braindead: If you message contains a
\0-character at the end, they won't recognize the trailing
"." of the DATA-section.

With a "hexdump -c xxxxx-D | tail " on the data-part in the
Exim spool directory (on Linux systems) you might find out if
this bug applies to the other side.

You might either ask the other side to change there MTA or
set up a transport filter that drops \0-characters (they
are illegal, anyways).

Greetings,


Georg
