From: Derek Atkins <warlord@MIT.EDU>

System name:		toxicwaste.media.mit.edu
Type and version:	KN02 7.6G
Display type:		PMAG-BA 

What were you trying to do?
	I did a mkserv mail on a Standard Athena decstation (not this
machine, but another one, a Maxine w/ 24M ram running the current
release).

What's wrong:
	/bin/mail is still on the system packs, and I get a number of
bounces with this in the header:

[headers to me deleted]
   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
<<< RCPT To:<factor@hot-spare.mit.edu>
<<< DATA
554 Cannot exec /bin/mail
554 <factor@hot-spare.mit.edu>... Service unavailable

   ----- Unsent message follows -----
Received: by hot-spare.MIT.EDU (5.57/4.7) id AA17087; Wed, 1 Dec 93 15:00:37 -0500
[stuff deleted]

What should have happened:
	/bin/mail should have been moved local by mkserv mail.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	N/A
