Come to think of it ....

Whilst the emails are coming down, try issuing "socket" and see how 
many smtp receive sockets are in use. I had a problem the other day 
with some large emails. It appeared multiple smtp's were in action 
receiving emails. I've not actually noticed this happening before so 
can't say if this is usual or not - afaik, there is no reason why this 
should not take place. Anyway, the end result was a line drop and 
because none of them had been fully downloaded the same thing happened 
again and again.

I managed to get them all eventually by continually resetting the 
TCP's for all but one of the smtp sockets (the one with the biggest 
download at the time). In other threads people had been complaining 
about a mysterious 15 minute line drop. This seemed to be happening to 
me.
