SYMPTOMS
When you use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) messages may not work correctly. This behavior may occur with SMTP messages from a Netscape client that uses SSL.



CAUSE
SMTP ignores data bytes that are transmitted with the resume-ssl-session packet. If the SSL resume-session packet is used (as it is in Netscape Communicator), the first packet contains both the resume-session SSL packet and the first few bytes of SMTP traffic.
