A subscriber to a mailing list I maintain recently sent me the following
from his system log.  I am intrigued because I've also seen the same kind
of error message pop up in my logs when receiving e-mail from a certain
machine from within Boeing Computer Services.  Anybody seen messages of
this sort?
