This is not a new problem, and I  don't know what the exact cause is, but
since there were other problems (CRC  checks) in the OHSTVMA and the OHST
folks were working  on it, at first I just  discarded the nastygrams. But
after  2  months I  feel  I  have to  report  this  problem again.  I  am
consistently  unable to  reach  hosts downstream  OHSTVMA via  DISTRIBUTE
jobs: the file reaches their LISTSERV  garbled, not from time to time but
each and every time I send a  PEERS NAMES update. This is a rather common
occurence with old  or buggy versions of RSCS when  the list processor is
used.  The problem  could be  at OHSTVMA,  or it  could be  at the  sites
getting  the garbled  data -  I am  not pointing  fingers at  anyone. The
bottom  line, however,  is that  people at  these sites  may be  losing a
significant amount of mail.
