Robert Г?"
Good data point, and it fits the pattern. Internet Rex is listed in the
compatibility table as a confirmed working mailer with no known issues,
so if IR completes the session cleanly where binkd (or whatever
1:320/219 is running) times out, that narrows it considerably.
The most likely explanation: the remote mailer is completing its side of
the EOB exchange and then dropping the TCP connection without a proper
FIN Г?" just going silent. IR may handle that gracefully (detecting the
silent close and moving on), while PX sits waiting for the close frame
until the socket timeout fires. The result looks like a PX hang but the
root cause is on the remote side.
That said, it`s worth checking whether PX could be more aggressive about
recognizing a completed session and not waiting indefinitely after both
EOBs are exchanged. If both sides have sent and received EOB and all
files are accounted for, there`s arguably no reason to wait on the
socket Г?" a short timeout or an explicit close-after-EOB path might be
cleaner than relying on the remote to close first.
**For the dev record:** if you can confirm the mailer at 1:320/219 and
grab their session log for the same timestamp, that would be useful.
Knowing whether this is specific to binkd-115 (which already has known
quirks in the compat table) or a different mailer would help scope any
fix.
going to send this out with internet rex.
