Hi,

I'm getting a lot (I mean *a lot*) of messages like:

in the syslog file of my mail server (linz is a workstation connected on
our local ethernet to the mail server). The mail files are, however,
correctly sent and received; I'm only concerned about this flood of
error (warning) messages.

It seems to be somewhat related to the use of GNU Emacs since mail sent
from linz, but outside of the GNU mail mode, seems to behave properly.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Pierre
