Hi Eric,
Thanks for your quick response!

Wagner is telling IBM that repair of SMTP is a waste of time? Can
you tell me some of the story behind your remark, please? (Is SMTP
being rewritten?) If this is a reference to activities leading up to
LMAIL, I guess that I understand your pragmatism/bitterness. :-(

Silly me suggesting LISTSERV might have a problem :-), I did the
SERVE OUT with a lower case "postmaster": now that I've done it
correctly, I suspect the problem is solved. I'll send this to the
LSTOWN-L list if you think it important.
Thanks again
