Hi, We've been chasing issues with Tumbleweed (now Axway) MailGate appliances sending messages using TLS through us. Finally Tumbleweed told one of our clients that this was probably due to a bug in their software when the receipient MTA "makes multiple writes to the socket". On a guess, we patched QP to send multi-line EHLO reponses in a single string rather than multiple strings. This seems to have cleared up the issue! I'm attaching the patch, in hopes that (1) it is useful to you guys; and (2) if there's anything stupid about it that we haven't been able to catch, someone will notice and help us improve it, since we're about to include it in our forthcoming point release :) -JaredThread Next
