Description:
------------
We have been experiencing problems sending mail from our Apache web server. Although this application has been running for more than a year without problems, occasionally, our error logs are filling up with the following error:

PHP Notice: fwrite(): send of 8192 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe in /var/www/html/sites/site185/web/include/pear/Net/Socket.php on line 258

Although we haven't run into a disk space issue, apache becomes unresponsive for that site, although not others. The Mail_API is set up to communicate with SMTP on the same machine. Whatever problems the system should be having as a whole, the Mail_API should be able to avoid this situation.
