[imp] Message Composition window does not close

[Marc]

Hi Eric,

thanks for your answers/questions.
A colleague of mine asked me a simple question one hour ago:

is it possible that not /sending/ is the problem but rather /saving/
the copy in "sent-mail"-Folder

At that moment I realized that there can be a problem with
IMPs-imap-Commands because I established imapproxy some days ago to
reduce load of our LDAP-Servers (I forgot to write this yesterday)

After disabling imapproxy the problem has gone but leaves the question
where the difference between sent-mail-Handling IMP and
netscape-messanger could be found.

Here the installation at the hosts:

 993 >--stunnel-->  1444 where imapproxy lives
1444 >--imapproxy--> 143 where cyrus-imapd lives

IMP connects directly to 127.0.0.1:1444 without ssl but notls.
The systems don't have local users and all other clients
(Mozilla,pine,mutt,emacs) are forced to use Port 993 by networking and
have no problem in saving mails with attachments to their
sent-mail-Folder while sending a mail.

There must be a difference that become a problem with imapproxy.

bye
Marc

P.S. here my answers to your questions:

no segfault, no core, no logging, no load
the browser hangs for about 20-30 mintues in this horde session.
Other things, for example searching for the problem at google is
possible:)

nothing to see in my logs. What I missed to do ist to tcpdump the
session to demonstrate, that there is no more connection.

that errormsg comes from browser - sorry

I remember that kind of problem but here is no load

it takes a lot of work in reconfiguring the cisco-acls, iptables,
portsentries, tcpwrappers etc. between the GUI and those server.
So I'm (nearly:) glad in solving the problem by killing imapproxy.

thx again
Marc
