What do you know?  The exact same thing happens when I make use of
"filter" under HP-UX on a HP9000/835.  There is also a problem if the
.elm directory is mode 700, filter is unable to create the log file in
there.  However, it runs just fine under ULTRIX 4.1 on both my VAXen and
RISC platforms.   I think the problem is in sendmail.

Anyone got any suggestions?
