Hi Jonathan, thanks for your test, this is a similar problem as the sending of a large attachment (#618425) that cannot be interrupted and it is basically due to the fact that SA_RESTART is defined in the signal handler. I will try to prepare a patch for both bugs but it is more likely that it will be shipped with 1.5.21-6 than 1.5.21-5 (which is coming out this weekend).
