[sander815]

i am noticing these errors in my exim mainlog:

2006-01-18 10:23:49 1Ez9So-000269-Ly SMTP data timeout (message abandoned) on connection from mail.novi.net (mailserver.novi.net) [83.98.144.10] F=<[email protected]>

i already disabled spamassassin, but i still cannot receive mail from this server that has attachments. If i try gmail/yahoo with the same file it worx fine

For some reason the sending server is dropping the connection.

I'd check the speed of your connection on your server vs the speed the router or switch expects it to be.

We find that sometimes if we're using autonegotiate on either or both, this occurs; we never use autonegotiate anymore.

If yours is fine, then the sending server could have the problem.
