- I had this problem on my StarServer E; smtpd also went into infinite
- loops when told HELO by some systems (ironically, AT&T 3B2s could cause
- this problem every time).

- My solution (after spending about two hours on the phone with NCR support
- and finding no one who could speak authoritatively on smtpd) was to nuke
- the whole mess and use the "unsupported", yet provided on the OS tape,
- /usr/ucblib/sendmail. I did that 3 months ago, and it seems to work like
- a charm.

- I'll also throw in a blurb for my mailing list......

- and technicians. To subscribe, send your request to
