[comp.sys.sgi] 40/70G won't accept mail

palkovic@linac.fnal.gov (John A. Palkovic) (08/15/90)

System: Iris 40/70G; IRIX 3.2

When trying to deliver mail to the Iris system (ntf) from a Sun
running SunOS 4.1 (calvin), sendmail reports the following:

   Return-Path: <Mailer-Daemon@calvin>
   Date: Tue, 14 Aug 90 08:49:48 CDT
   From: Mailer-Daemon@calvin (Mail Delivery Subsystem)
   Subject: Returned mail: Remote protocol error
   To: <palkovic@linac>

      ----- Transcript of session follows -----
   Connected to ntf:
   >>> MAIL From:<palkovic@linac>
   <<< 554 rewrite: expansion too long
   >>> QUIT
   <<< 554 rewrite: expansion too long
   554 <don@ntf.fnal.gov>... Remote protocol error

      ----- Unsent message follows -----

Net result: the Iris system does not accept the mail message for delivery.

Any ideas out there?  Please email replies direct. Thanks.
