I'm no SMTP expert, too, but my understanding is that your assumption
is correct in that the remote side just cries "STOP" in the middle
of the transfer and expects qmail to send an end of message then.
That software is called "Mail*Hub TurboSendmail", whatever that is.

So I assume that the qmail-remote also speaks ESMTP if available,
but doesn't send that SIZE message, right? Guess it's time again
to find that hotmail thread.
Anyway, that's a nice hint to follow, thank you!
