I've been getting this error since Jan. 3 (yesterday), with Eudora 6.2.4
on OSX 10.3.9. It also says "No reponse from server for 120 seconds." I
am able to send and receive mail without problem.

I just found others with the same problem on

http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/showthread.php?t=13177&highlight=performin
g+unknown+task

The folks there are wondering if it is related to using sponsored mode
(as I do).

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I have run into the same problem starting Jan 3. I am on 10.4.11 with a
new iMac. I had recently installed various updates (Security Update,
Java, etc.). It is good to know that these aren't the cause.

I am a registered user with sponsored mode.

I have just tried enabling logging as suggested. So far, perhaps because
I have had too few messages or the like, I can't see why that message
should come up.

Connection to the adserver was achieved (the log said "connected") but
perhaps the problem is at that point.

There was an odd line in the log

Rcvd: "Received: from unknown (HELO ?192.168.1.104?) (unknown)\r\n"

I know my router is at 192.168.1.1, but there should not be anything at
192.168.1.104.


BEWARE!! This particular form of logging gives the clear text of the
Eudora password, which could be an issue if anyone else has access to
the log.
