My HP 9000/370 occaisionly forgets how to receive mail. When this happens, it refuses all incoming mail with the following error message : > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > >While connected to deltahp.jsc.nasa.gov [134.118.141.8] (tcp): >>-> HELO deltahp ><<< 553 deltahp I refuse to talk to myself > >554 <dbm@deltahp.jsc.nasa.gov>... Service unavailable I have to restart sendmail to get it working right. Any ideas why it might do this? BTW, I thought the HELO line was of the form HELO <calling machine>. In the case above, deltahp is the destination. Is that part of the problem? Please excuse the cross-posting of this msg, I wasn't sure where it fit best. -- Brad Mears dbm@icarus.jsc.nasa.gov ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opinions are expressly forbidden. | "It is better to die on your feet I speak for myself and no other. | than live on your knees" | - Dolores Ibarruri ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
