Your bulletins have hung our mailer 3 times in 2 working days. Can you
please ensure that there is never a . at the start of a line as it is
interpreted by standard Unix mail programs as an end-of-file which is
then found to be premature. I am sure there are work-arounds but why
should we poor system managers have to hack things about when it could
so easily be avoided from the start!
