Mails stuck in the queue under certain circumstances

[hertie]

Hi folks

I got a really strange problem with my smtp here...
I use the smtp only from the localhost using squirrelmail 1.4.2 (meaning: none of my client s use the smtp of the toaster-box but the smtp of my isp instead).

Whenever I forward a mail with squirrelmail that includes an attachment, it is not delivered but stuck in the queue. Here's what qmail queue says:

peppi# qmail queuemessages in queue: 5messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 020 Feb 2004 07:40:27 GMT  #209  50611  <mh@nufta.net>        remote  hem@graffenried.com20 Feb 2004 08:00:46 GMT  #1525  161031  <mh@nufta.net>        remote  hem@graffenried.com20 Feb 2004 07:33:21 GMT  #124  10214060  <mh@nufta.net>        remote  hem@graffenried.com20 Feb 2004 07:21:10 GMT  #2179  10214060  <mh@nufta.net>        remote  hem@graffenried.com20 Feb 2004 07:13:17 GMT  #2181  10214071  <mh@nufta.net>        remote  markus.hertach@graffenried.com

doing "qmail doqueue" doesn't fix that.

Here's my sendlog for message #2181:

@400000004035b397056af48c new msg 2181@400000004035b397056ed8a4 info msg 2181: bytes 10214071 from <mh@nufta.net> qp 22859 uid 1005@400000004035b39705b7e7c4 starting delivery 154: msg 2181 to remote markus.hertach@graffenried.com@400000004035b39705bb8974 status: local 0/10 remote 1/255@400000004035b59d3a8aabe4 delivery 154: deferral: Connected_to_217.26.32.2_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/

And here's my sendlog for message #124 wich went fine (this message had no attachments!):

@400000004035b7d301474b1c new msg 124@400000004035b7d3014b1bac info msg 124: bytes 948 from <mh@nufta.net> qp 23176 uid 1005@400000004035b7d30188c8bc starting delivery 160: msg 124 to remote markus.hertach@graffenried.com@400000004035b7d3018ecbcc status: local 0/10 remote 2/255@400000004035b7d83612cfc4 delivery 160: success: 217.26.32.2_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_2.0.0_i1K7SdE11269_Message_accepted_for_delivery/

Maybe this probem is related to squirrelmail escpecially since mails with attachments that are not forwarded messages but new composed ones pass without problems. But since squirrelmail dropped it in the queue I thought it must be some smtp issue.

Any ideas?

p.s. I use Mail-Toaster v. 3.3 on FreeBSD 4.9. Squirrelmail is of version 1.4.2
