Actual Results:  
100% CPU utilization, Mozilla hangs.

Expected Results:  
Sent the message.

Have had to change the config on www.hbdvc.com port 25, so this effect has
disappeared. Will setup a temp server to demonstrate the effect.

This bug only shows up when the server is misconfigured. It still causes Mozilla
to crash, so perhaps it would be worth fixing in any event. I can quickly setup
a mail server config that triggers the crash if anyone wants to take a look at
this. Just mail me directly and I'll set it up.

Reporter: Is this still a problem with a current Mozilla build (and a wrong
configuration of the mailserver)?
