I can think of a couple of possibilities. The obvious one is that the user
name and password for this client isn't set up the same way on the server
as the other client, causing the server to reject access to that client only.
Another problem (more of a long shot, really) might be with the DATE command.
If it produces output that's locale-specific and that one client is set for
a different locale, then its output might be different than the other
clients, confusing the server. And keep in mind that you've just posted
the client's user name and password to the entire world on this mailing list.
