Description
I've made a simple proxy server to test http APIs. It takes contents of http requests and forwards them to e-mail. The problem occurs when it tries to send an e-mail containing binary data. The mailer just hangs with no exception nor warning. No further e-mails are sent, process is not killed and log file is clean.

Research direction
No file, entry point, test, runtime version, or reproducible request is named. Start by reproducing the mailer call with binary request content and trace where sending stops; done means the binary-containing message completes and subsequent messages are sent without hanging.
