Re: SMTP problem...new builds

I've seen SMTP send queue problems under Linux RHEL as well.  Typically
if the server isn't available, it won't retry, at least until I send
another message.

For windows, you might want to ensure that your local firewall is not
blocking *outbound* SMTP connections.  I've seen that hit various users.
It could also explain the difference between the two working machines
and one non-working machine.

If anyone is contemplating retiring Mulberry, you may want to continue
to at least keep subscribed to this list to keep an ear out for things.
It's not as if it's a high-traffic list.

I'm in the *very* early stages of trying to do a Qt-based
Mulberry-influenced
variant.  My focus is on Linux, OpenBSD, and portability.  In other words,
I intend for it to work under Mac/Windows as well, although I don't tend to
deal on those platforms.

Before you get your hopes up, this is in the realm of "the cobbler's
children have no shoes".  That is, I develop software for a living
but this is an unpaid project.  No, that is not a solicitation, but
it means that development time takes a back seat to family and $work.
And both of those take up most hours in my day.

No timelines, even wild-ass guesses, are available at the moment,
so please don't ask.  I can't even promise that it will ever be
anything but vapourware.

My motivation is driven by the concerns already mentioned by
others, but also the fact that RHEL as stopped supporting 32-bit
installs. Which means that for me, the end-of-live of RHEL6 is
end-of-life for a 32-bit Mulberry (at least on one of my major
platforms).
