I get the same with smail and I'm not using a smarthost. I think it could
be an smail or pine config thing, because you would think that smail would
accept the mail right away and pine would continue. Makes me think that it
makes an initial delivery attempt at the time. I know that when I have
mail in the retry spool, pine runs normally.
If somebody already knows about this, please post it.
