Subject:  Sendmail Ver 5.65 on a Vax 11/780

   As the subject indicates, we are running version 5.65 of sendmail on
a Vax 11/780 running Ultrix (4.2 BSD).  Now here is the problem -
   When one sends mail out to a VM/VMS machine, the mail usually does not
go through.  The error is something like -
   Reply: Read Error.
   The mail just sits in the queue.  We had the same problem with Version
5.61 of sendmail and I was told that Version 5.65 fixes the problem.  This
problem used to crop up with the old sendmail with a well known - Bad File
Number error.  It seems like 5.65 has not fixed it either.  
   The above indicates a timeout problem between Unix and VMS based machines.
Is there someone else with the same problem, or probably, a fix?
   Thanks in advance for your suggestions/comments.
