In order to try to put sendmail/mail11v3 to their limits I
tried with a message going to VMSmail with 512 receipients of the type
<no>dummyuser@host.dnet and 1 recipient with a real VMS username. (ca.
12000 bytes in the To: field).

Mail11v3 could deliver the mail to the real receipient, but now the
message body of the resulting VMSmail was _empty_ and the original
message body was in the Subject field together with some control
characters and '$' chars :-) and the subject field was in the To field !! 

Any comments to that one ?

It was a VMS 5.1-B system in the other end.

cheers
