After many, many attempts to get this problem resolved, I am asking those in this group if anyone has experienced a simular problem: ---------------- From: nc386!uucp Message-Id: <8903120744.AA26398@NCoast.ORG> To: ncoast!daemon Date: Sun Mar 12 02:10:12 1989 remote execution [uucp job ncoastXHeX0 (3/12-2:10:11)] rmail rhg exited with status 2 --------------- This type of mail is sent to ANYONE off of nc386 who sends mail to nc386!username. I assume it is a reply or some audit function of smail since it does not happen with the 'standard' mailers. nc386 is running SCO Xenix on a 386 20MZ Mylex Board. Help or suggestions would be appreciated as my neighbors are losing their patience. I do not have strong abilities in programming. Thank you in advance! Rich Richard H.

[describes exit code 2 diagnostic when smail runs]
My guess is that you are running an old version of 2.2 development system.
There is a bug such that "return()" from main() was not the same as
"exit()". Guess which one smail uses??
Two possible solutions: (1) change the "return" to an "exit" in smail,
(2) contact sco for the development system maintenance disk "UFC1".
(Sorry, I don't have the official name...just the label on the floppy.)

Thank you in advance! nc386 is running a version of smail that was compiled on a 2.2 Dev Sys. The problem is in main(). smail does a `return 0' instead of an `exit(0)'. Change that line and re-make. You should be fine. That bug is said to have been fixed in the 2.3 Dev Sys release although I haven't tested it. Pax, Keith -- Keith Gabryelski ag@cbmvax.commodore.com
