- This is a configuration problem. You apparently are not using a config
- file built with the your IDA package in subdirectory ida/cf

- The error occurs when your mailer has the 'U' flag defined in the "F="
- string of flags, but the sender address does not contain a '!'. Note
- that this is the envelope sender address after processing by ruleset
- 3,1, the mailer S= rule, and 4. Time to check on your rewrite rules.
- Or just build an IDA config file, and save yourself the trouble.
