My memory is fuzzy as to if this problem has been reported before or not. I vaguely remeber seeing something like this but cannot find anything in our old news files, so please excuse me if this is old hat. The VAXen here are running BSD 4.3 UNIX with all of the patches posted to comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes applied. Most of the time when we try to speak SMTP to a TOPS 20 (TWENEX) host sendmail ends up deffering with a "Bad file number" status. This situation never seems to correct itself and eventually the mail is returned to the originator. If my memory is correct on this and a fix has been posted for it I would appreciate getting a copy from anyone who has it. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dan, In order to get sendmail to speak smtp with a Dec-20 you have tell sendmail to use <cr><lf>. (use the E flag) From sendmail.cf Mtcp, P=[IPC], F=mDFMueXLC, S=14, R=24, A=IPC $h, E=\r\n Mtcpld, P=[IPC], F=mDFMueXLC, S=17, R=27, A=IPC $h, E=\r\n cj
