You MUST change your password before uploading the file to some FTP or

The output I get with the "tcpdump -w debug.dump host mail.server.com" is
located here:

http://wpffl.netfirms.com/debug.dump.txt - Again, please ignore the banner
text that is added to the top of the page by this web host provider.

Unfortunately, this log is useless, as it does not show the raw data
which I need to figure what's going on. "tcpdump -w", in my version,
causes tcpdump to write raw packet data, which I could then have decoded
with tcpdump -r or tethereal -r, to see if the line ends are correct and
such. Please also add -s20000 to as to capture full packets.

WARNING: If you provide such a log, you _must_ change your password
afterwards unless you are using APOP.

In case -w works, it's best to uuencode the file so the banner doesn't
harm it (what <censored> put banners into .txt files!?).
Do: uuencode filename.txt <filename.txt >filename.txt.uu
then upload the .uu file.

If your tcpdump doesn't have the -w option as "save raw data", try -X,
if that doesn't work, try -x. Remember to change the password unless
you're using APOP.
