Even tho I agree that a disconnect is non-compliant at this stage (and I do run my server non-compliant), I don't think the Lotus argument is valid for this discussion. As a developer or administrator it is not my duty to coddle the short-sighted, non-robust code from a well funded (at one time at least, I haven't kept track) commercial software package.
You miss the point. Lotus Notes would think there was a network problem and immediately start another delivery attempt (i.e. not wait for the retry interval). While I don't care what someone else runs, I do care when the server keeps banging on a door I already have shut (and thus taking up a valuable slot). Maybe I won't care much when I'm running pollserver...
