I run a small ISP, and one of my customers is having problems sending mail. He's using one of
those all-in-one Internet packages from Quarterdeck.

Anyway, in my maillog file, I get messages of the form:


Dec 16 10:20:01 itchy sendmail[26735]: collect: unexpected close on connection from dial11.mosquito.com, sender=<gfoerste@mosquito.com>: Error 0 

followed by what looks like a queued 5 byte mail message.

None of my customers using Eudora are having this problem.

Any suggestions? Is the problem on my end or his?
