I'm having a problem with LISTSERV 1.6b (note: I never saw this under 1.6a) hanging when it receives mail with long From: or To: fields. Actual examples of these fields are shown below: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From: gem.mps.ohio-state.edu!ginosko!aplcen!uakari.primate.wisc.edu!dogie.macc.wisc.e [log in to unmask] (Michael Dorl - MACC) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To: usc!cs.utexas.edu!csd4.csd.uwm.edu!mailrus!jarvis.csri.toronto.edu!utgpu!meikle @ucsd.edu, [log in to unmask] X-VMS-To: IN%"usc!cs.utexas.edu!csd4.csd.uwm.edu!mailrus!jarvis.csri.toronto.edu!utgpu!me [log in to unmask]" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A representative LISTSERV console when it encounters one of these is: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (LSV822IN) W Invalid RFC822 field -- "[log in to unmask] U (MICHAEL DORL - MACC):". Rest of header flushed. (LSV822IN) I Empty address field found and ignored. (LSV822IN) I Empty address field found and ignored. (LSV822IN) I Empty address field found and ignored.

(LSV822IN) E Original tag was -> FROM: gem.mps.ohio-state.edu!ginosko!aplcen!uak ari.primate.wisc.edu!dogie.macc.wisc.e - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - at which point LISTSERV just hangs burning CPU with no I/O. Any one got any ideas on how I can get LISTSERV to do something with these kind of files other than hanging up? I'm starting to find having to manually stop LISTSERV, transferring the file out of LISTSERV's RDR, and starting LISTSERV up again a few times a day rather annoying by now.
