Ahem, looking at the 8.11.3 sources that I have handy, the collect() function
which is called in src/srvrsmtp.c right after the DATA command is issued from
an SMTP client. As I read the source of srvrsmtp.c, looking for hints, I
found out the following:
1783 case CMDDATA: /* data -- text of mail */
...
1818 /* collect the text of the message */
1819 SmtpPhase = "collect";
1820 buffer_errors();
1821 collect(InChannel, TRUE, NULL, e);
and it is collect() that's printing the error you are seeing.
To make a long story short, I think that this is not a problem with your
Sendmail setup, but that other network connectivity problems prevent your
client from completing the message body after it sends the DATA command.
