I have not found any mailer that does not work when mbse calls it providing it
has been set up correctly.

Even to OS/2 running Max via a fossil - mind you that was over 15 years ago.

Fossils must be set up and use a buffered 1650 or similar otherwise they can
loss data.

Some areas to look at - Check the log files in debug (you will need to set up
mbse it maximise reporting) and error.

Don't forget to reduce debug reporting ASAP after testing as the log files can
get large. Make sure you have set up logrotate for mbse log files as specified
in the mbse manual.
