Mailer generates an invalid name for a spool file when it encounters a userid not in cp's directory - the spool file name is ERROR MAIL", where the " is really a null char. When the mailer later tries to process this file it bom bs. Does anyone have any ideas? Following is an excerpt from mailer's console: 0000001 FILE ORDERED 02/01/90 17:11:04 MAISMT054I BSMTP request transaction start. 02/01/90 17:11:04 MAISMT043I 0002 recipient blocks.
