If your MTA host is running Solaris or some other system that instead uses the similar-but-not-at-all-compatable mbox format that SunOS came up with (that of Content-Length headers), then this sort of thing will happen.

Yes, but most MDA's have an option to turn on/off the Content-length thing. BTW, I was of the belief that Content-length was a SysV thing, which Solaris inherited. Is this truly a solaris-only thing? -- Dan Stromberg DCS/NACS/UCI <strombrg dcs nac uci edu>
