   "protect the innocent" (sanitize data) is ok, but is
   there really no   relay=  part in between  mailer= and stat= ??
   If not, that would give me a clue of its own..

   What kind of machine is that into which the delivery is
   attempted ?  That is, what SMTP server software it runs ?

   Could it be closing the reception session by crashing the MTA
   at the remote end due to some resource exhaustion ?

   You could route email to the destination  domain.name  via
   the   smtp-log!   channel.    See examples in the start comments
   of file  proto/db/routes  in the source tree.

   That channel will log the entire outgoing smtp sessions
   (when called for it via e.g. routing)  $LOGDIR/smtp-log  file.

   Remaining task after few days/a week(?) of data collection is
   then to pick delivery sessions where deferrence is logged, but
   delivery has been done.

   Sending selected samples of that log could supply a clue if
   something is wrong -- which is possible.


   I have also published a  2.99.55-patch1,  which contains several
   pipelining related syncing problem fixes, although even after that
   I have seen, and fixed, one additional syncup problem.

   Still I am not sure that any of the problems I had spotted have
   anything to do with the case which yours appears to be...
