...as in What now? send -verbose -watch -- Posting for All Recipients -- post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no servers available send: message not delivered to anyone This only happens on one of our client DECsomethings; another one with the same (physically the same, not just identical contents) configuration files works fine. Anyone know what's going on here? Oh, this is MH 6.7.0 (can't apply the patches yet...pbtthhh), and Ultrix 4.0+ (I think).

Oops, you might want the following:
version: MH 6.7 #15[UCI] (vishnu) of Thu Apr 19 17:02:04 PDT 1990
options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [DUMB] [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [BERK] [MHE] [BIND]

Pbbthhh. Well, that was fun. I guess I need sendmail running for the program to talk to it. Thanks for your patience.

Look at the mh-tailor(5) man page for more info. >This only happens on one of our client DECsomethings; another one with >the same (physically the same, not just identical contents) >configuration files works fine. Same mtstailor file? >Oh, this is MH 6.7.0 (can't apply the patches yet...pbtthhh), and >Ultrix 4.0+ (I think). When you submit problems, it might be more helpful for others if you take the info from the command from "send -help" and include it in your message. Depending on the different options used, some MH commands will behave differently. Unless you give other MH users that info, they can only guess as to what might be wrong. For example, here's the info for from our Sun3 installation: version: MH 6.7 #3[UCI] (alborz) of Tue Feb 19 05:37:41 EST 1991 options: [ATZ] [BIND] [BSD42] [BSD43] [SUN40] [ISI] [MHE] [MHRC] [NTOHLSWAP] [RPATHS] [TZNAME] [ZONEINFO] [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [MSGPROT='"0600"'] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [TYPESIG='void'] [SENDMTS] ________________________________________________________________________ Eric W.
