Just recently I'm finding the connection hanging there and the message
queue does not go. However it still refuses to go if I terminate the email
software and then bring it back up again, but it always goes if I restart
the computer.

Yeah, we have seen a few duplicate posts from
you. But not from others who use that server,
so it does look like some quirk of your system.

But hardly anyone except you and me use WLM
so it may be some quirk of WLM and ET, I don’t
use ET at all, I use news.individual.net

My feeling is that something is hanging on to the port and only by
severing all tcp/ip activity by shutting down, can one get it to restart
and send the messages.

But if its only happening with the dupes, its
more a problem that the ack doesn’t get seen.
In other words it has been seen but your
system doesn’t see it as having been seen.

It seems not to be an issue on other news servers.

So why don’t you use nin instead ?
Its ultra reliable and isnt expensive
