Hello,
Unfortunately this is not a dot-stuffing problem.
As a workaround I asked this department to use our
exim server as an outgoing smtp server for Eudora.
Now everything works fine and I can insert a small
piece from the whole email:
---beginning of insertion
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="=====================_19717531==_"

Content-Type: application/msword; name="kultaj373.doc";

---end of insertion
So there is no line starting with a dot, and somehow the second
--=====================_19717531==.ALT
line (before the text/html part) triggers the synchronization
error when talking to the exchange server:
2005-06-14 13:22:13 SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error (next
input sent too soon: pipelining was not advertised): rejected
"--=====================_
19717531==.ALT" H=exsrv.xxx.u-szeged.hu [160.114.n.n] next
input="Content-Ty
pe: text/html;\r\n charset="iso-8859-1"\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding:
quoted-printable\r\n\r\n<html>\r\n<body>\r\n<br>\r\nNew
test<br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<"
Maybe I should raise this question on the exchange-users list :)
Thank you all for your kind help.
