From: Mignon Erixon-Stanford Has anyone else been having problems with the SMTP @ CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU within the past 2 weeks? Some of our mail gets returned, some goes thru but we get gross error messages. Any idea what might be going on? We tried contacting someone who seems to think we're on MCIMAIL (with a node name of SIVM.BITNET ??). The consistent syntax error is at 501...no args after the QUIT command. Sample follows...
