I just started writing a long list of proofs that I can connect with taz, and decided that maybe there had been an aberration in the network which caused the problem, and went away in time for all the other things to work. This turned out to be the case; I have now sent mail from gnus to the subscriber I had trouble with earlier this morning. I don't think that changes the fact that it's a bug if a temporary failure to connect to the smtp host hangs gnus so that it can't be interrupted, and continues to hang after the connection is restored. This was in fact the case; while the hang was occurring, I was able to execute "telnet taz smtp" successfully. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@world.std.com , http://www.world.std.com/~lconrad/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
