X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 Perhaps there is a status we can return that says "I'm working on it, don't timeout" I'm finding this rather troublesome. It doesn't make us very appealing to the NAS/file server world. We might still be ok for applications running local on the box. I still think we need to run the test. I'm hoping you're wrong about the way clients will respond or that a blocked open is different from a server going down.
