Dear Sirs,
I can read my mail from my pop/smtp-server klt%ensheimer.de(a)post.strato.de
but when I send an email using VM 6.75 (under Xemacs 21.1), via smtp, VM
seems to connect my smtp-server and starts sending something. However VM
comes to a standstill leaving the following message in the echo-area :
354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
However VM does not react to key strokes, whereby the menues pop-up if the
mouse is over them but clicking on the menu item does not have any effect.
This happens if you send large mails or has a slow mail server. Some
server will actually take minutes here (doing various DNS lookups and
anti-spam stuff).
Therefore I have to quit Xemacs and VM via the Kill-function of
XWindows.
I would like to give you the whole content of the buffer "trace of SMTP
session to post.strato.de" but that buffer is not invisible.
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ; only to debug problems
Upgrade to latest mail-lib may help, as it separates sending the VERB
SMTP command into a separate variable `smtpmail-debug-verb'.
Disabling debugging in your current version might help too.
Or if the server is just slow, you will have to wait.
