1345.0. "BiBadHdr on EVERY incoming Internet Mail" by UTRTSC::SCHOLLAERT (Ajax: World Champions 1995) Mon Feb 10 1997 09:30

    Hello,
    
    Customer reports reproducable problem with 2.0-2.
    
    EVERY incoming Internet Mail generates the following error
    in inetgrecvlog:

    I can reproduce this on my test system just by sending:
    aosi11.uto.dec.com> mail schollae > .login 
    
    aosi11.uto.dec.com> more .forward
    "|/usr/bin/inetgrecv schollae"
    
    The good news is that the mails are delivered to the recipient...
    
    Regards,

As you observe, we have confirmed that this is harmless -
we are erroneously reporting an error that does not exist.
