Could be. I'm using off-shelf-sendmail from RH 7.2 so it seems unlikely that is a bug. Its been many many years since I've seen this happen to an email. Another explanation could be that whatever RedHat is using to filter posts to the lists may have tripped on it. Seems more likely? -- Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA.
