My site has recently started to run into network-wide problems with MH.
Sending mail sometimes results in the following error messages:

	post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no servers available
	send: message not delivered to anyone

This problem appears and disappears without any apparent reason.  When the
problem occurs, all machines on the network are affected and give the same
error.

We are running on Vaxen of all sizes, under Ultrix 2.0.  MH was compiled
with the following options:

version: MH 6.5 #47[UCI] (wisper) of Fri Apr  3 11:58:13 EST 1987
options: [BANG] [ATZ] [ISI] [MHRC] [WHATNOW] [BSD42] [BERK] [TTYD]
         [DUMB] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BIND] [RPATHS] [SBACKUP='"#"']
         [SENDMTS] [SMTP]

I have access to source code, but I would prefer not to have to recompile
as this is the standard Ultrix setting.
