[mod.computers.vax] MAIL bug ?

        Hi folks,

we ahve a problem here with VMS mail. We are running VMS 4.4 on some of the
VAXen. If we send mail over the DECnet to two persons on another node, one
with forwarding to the other, the mailprogram hangs.

Mail>s
To: node2::user1,node2::user2
Subj: test

....

hangs on exit.

User1 has forward to user2 who has no forwarding enabled.
It is not a problem if I am on node2 and send to the same users.

Is this a known problem or should it be SPRead.

Mats - I can reproduce the problem under VMS 4.3, and also using PSI_MAILSHR
rather than DECnet.  Don't know if it's a known bug or not.  ** Phil.
