I am at the end of my limited wisdom. I have successfully built Andrew from the X11R4 tape and applied some patches. Everything seems to work except the reading of messages. I can post messages. The mail gets placed into /usr/spool/mail/<mylogin>. However when I try to read my mail, "messages" gets stuck! It successfully copies the newly arrived mail from /usr/spool/mail into ~/Mailbox but then never returns. "Looking for new mail in ~/Mailbox" remains at the bottom of the "messages" window and the cursor is stuck in the "hour-glass" form. Help! Has anyone encountered this problem before? I'm a rank amateur when it comes to either Andrew or the mail delivery procedure. Thanks in advance for ANY help, Tom (e-mail: wolf@howdy.att.com or twolf@homxa.att.com) P.S. I'm running on a Sun SparcStation-1 running SunOS4.03

This is a tough one. My guess is that you have something mis-configured in the site.mcr or site.h file. I'd be particularly suspicious about your use of the resolver (domain name) system. It might help if you post your site.h, site.mcr, and AndrewSetup (if you have one) file. -- Nathaniel
