Hi,

I'm using Gnus + IMTEST to pull down my MIT Email.  Unfortunately
it doesn't seem to like working through a NAT.  I'm not sure if
this is a NAT problem, and imtest problem, or what...

I see this in my netstat:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State      
tcp      220      0 192.168.0.3:45990       PO11.MIT.EDU:imaps      ESTABLISHED 

And it'll just hang like this until the connection times out.
Different runs hang at different places with different receive
queue lengths.

It only seems to happen from behind a NAT.

I'm running:

imtest -s -m kerberos_v4 -u warlord po11.mit.edu

It gets part-way through pulling down the email messages when it hangs.

Any ideas/clues?
