            Bug ID: 231046
           Summary: mail/ssmtp 2.64 doesnt send final ack - delays mail
                    server with hanging LAST_ACT on FreeBSD11.2S

Unsure if this is an implementation issue or something around traffic flow.

situation:
Multiple messages being sent with ssmtp.  When the server starts rejecting
messages due to connection rate setting, there are pending LAST_ACKs; which
ssmtp should ack before terminating.  Instead ssmtp just stops.

Resulting in sockstat -s revealing

LAST_ACK

The problem is that sendmail wont respond to new connections until the LAST=
_ACK
timeouts.=20=20

Workaround - increase number of connections to that particular port 2525 wh=
ich
is only for administrative email.  Aside: there are multiple jails transmit=
ting
to the sendmail (latest version) jail via lo0.  It just appears to be coming
over its "localhost" addr.
