P.S. I can't think of _anything_ that might be causing this, other than that the remote server expects to receive "221 bye" when it says "QUIT" and receiving "250 bye" confuses it into thinking the message hasn't been delivered.

Yes, this was indeed the case.

-L.

If that's true, there are at least two things wrong with this:

* Any 2xx is defined as a positive response. The 2nd and 3rd digit, and the descriptive text are for debugging purposes only

* The message is considered to be delivered after the 2xx response to DATA is received. End of story. What happens subsequently to QUIT is completely irrelevant.
