But the two times I could reproduce it, it stopped in the same place. On previous versions of gnus, I would often get a message back saying that there was a problem connecting to SMTP. This wasn't happening this morning; our system manager says there were some overloads on taz this morning that were leading to 30 second connection times. I really think something might have happened to smtp mail in the CVS since last week. I'm sure it's true there's something screwed up about the smtp mail server, but this isn't a very graceful way of dealing with it. I believe you if you say the problem might not be in gnus, but as far as I know, the only thing that's changed since last week is the CVS version of gnus. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@world.std.com , http://www.world.std.com/~lconrad/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
