Thanks. I wasn't able to find any reference to smtp timeouts in the docs -
only to retry timeouts. The smtp timeouts are specified in
src/transports/smtp.c like this:
5*60, /* command_timeout */
5*60, /* connect_timeout; shorter system default overrides
*/
5*60, /* data timeout */
10*60, /* final timeout */
I presume that the DATA timeout is 5 minutes before sending the message,
and FINAL is ten minutes waiting for acknowledgement after the end of the
message.

Yes, that figures. Otherwise the timestamp would appear to be late in my
log file. It doesn't.
