Thanks. I have been told by two independent sources that the 2.10.1 version on at least some of the Berkeley distribution tapes contains the infamous line-eater (maybe it should be called "buffer-eater", since it really eats the first 1024 characters of the message body) bug. Will one of the more experienced net gurus correct me if I'm wrong? Is there a simple patch that will correct the bug? -- Joe Buck | Entropic Processing, Inc.
