Socket error 10053, why?

Subject:Socket error 10053, why?

hello all,

I'm getting crazy with one case only in my application where the user
receives a socket error 10053. The application is written with Delphi 7 and
Indy 10.0.66. This error pops out when the application tries to send an
e-mail with an attachment using an TIdSMTP component.

I have found a description of this error:

WSAECONNABORTED (10053)
Software Caused Connection Abort -- A connection was aborted by software on
the host computer.

but it is not much clear as why it happened. What is the software, mine? And
what is the host computer, the local or the remote one? I have already told
to that user to disable any firewall and/or security package and to make all
possible checks on the correctness of the SMTP parameters (server, port,
etc., but they are correct), but with no luck. Do you have some explanation
on why it could happen? What could be the reasons?

I repeat that this is the only case out of about 350 users.

Thanks in advance
Salvatore
