Hello managers,

Back in November I reported a problem with some mail not being delivered from
sendmail 8.9.1a to Exchange Server 5.0. The symptoms were "connection reset"
and "I/O error" messages in the sendmail log, and the affected mail would often
bounce after repeated delivery attempts.

I had suggestions from Sheila Hollenbaugh (check MTU size) and Madhavi Ananth
(check sendmail mailing list and contact sendmail.org) as well as from the
staff at sendmail.org (more MIME-related patches, and reference to FAQ item on
these errors). These didn't fix the problem, so I logged a support call with
Microsoft and (after reverting to the Compaq-supported sendmail 8.8.8) Compaq.

The problem has now been fixed by upgrading Exchange server from version 5.0
to version 5.5 service pack 2, on the advice of Compaq support.

Thanks to all, and particularly to Compaq support,


Andrew Macneil.
