Hi! 

A user asked the following question:

> I used the command chpobox -s cora@squid.ucsb.edu, but got an error

> the error message is :
> Ingres error occurred when converting pobox to cora type SMTP

If I am not wrong, the Ingres error occurs with several other moira
database operations.

What was wierd was when I tried doing the following sequence several times:

% chpobox -s cora@squid.ucsb.edu
chpobox: Ingres system error occurred  while setting pobox for drlcs to type SMTP, box cora@squid.ucsb.edu
User drlcs, Type SMTP, Box: drlcs@emat1.mit.edu

%chpobox -p
User drlcs, Type POP, Box: drlcs@PO6.MIT.EDU
  Modified by drlcs on 30-sep-1993 19:53:09 with chpobox

% chpobox -s drlcs@emat1.mit.edu
User drlcs, Type SMTP, Box: drlcs@emat1.mit.edu
  Modified by drlcs on 30-sep-1993 19:53:20 with chpobox

I did it many times and it worked!

Thanks
