a.
I examined the message in the exim spool area and it contains no ASCII 0
characters.
b.
It is a very small test message, only a few words. SMTP>> MAIL FROM:<npegram@???> SIZE=1474 SMTP<< 250 Sender <npegram@???> and extensions (SIZE=1474) Ok
c.
The problem occurs at the end of the message.
Re FAQ 18
The problem does not seem to be related to large messages, nor this
particular host, since I could send messages via Netscape to the same host
and we regularly send multi-megabyte messages to them using the Macintosh
(from which I'm doing this, since my Linux box is currently mute!).
Is there a way to test the SMTP conversation to see what's going on at the
end of the transmission?
TIA
Nigel
