You are entirely correct.. After sending the query, I came to the
conclusion that it was neither exim nor mutt.. The problem was quite
simple and rather foolish of me.. I had neither crtscts turned on nor
was I setting asyncmap to escape xon/xoff.. Apparently what was
happening was that the xoff character was in the file, and of course,
when that was sent, It was putting the server on hold and never starting
it back up.. Someone mentioned asyncmap to me.. I first set crtscts
without setting the asyncmap escape and the same file was sent OK.. I
went ahead and set asyncmap to escape these characters anyway.

Quite simple but I couldn't see the forest for the trees, I reckon..

Thanks again for the response.
