hello all,

Company I'm working for currently uses X400 to exchange mail between two office
systems.

Namely, CEO on DG and ALL-IN-1 on VAX. We're experiencing reproducible errors
when large ( as in 100+ ) distribution list is used to send mail between the
two system.

WHat happens is that the VAX's MRX establishes connection with the DG's X400
and begins sending. The DG then terminates the connection with error saying
unexpected terminator encountered. Naturally, the VAX recovers tries again etc.
and we have to delete the session to allow other messages through.

Of course, we have DG and DEC looking into it. Mean time, I was wondering if
anyone else have come across such problems or is there some unknown limit to
number of addressees in the X400 protocols ?

Alternatively, could the vendor implementation be the cause ? I actually seen
log messages larger (in body text) gone thru successfully but short/medium
messages with large distribution list have held up the sessions.

Any light thrown would greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
