Aaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!

I just set up a port forwarder program. It does *nothing* apart from
forward port 25 on my PC to port 25 on my ISP's mail server, writing
out the data as it passes through. (OK, I didn't write it - it's the
one that comes with the "twisted" package for Python, modified with a
single print statement to log the data).

And the mail went fine.

Gack! Spit! Snarl!

Timing problem? The Python code slows the data stream down just enough
to avoid the problem? (Or is demonic posession of my PC a more likely
answer - no, I'm running a Windows OS, I *know* my PC is posessed by a
demon...)

Oh, hell. Where's that Windows 2000 CD?

Paul.
