amu suggested I send this mail. I had a problem using the redistmail script
today and his suggestion was that it was a problem related to it being an
8.3 machine - I first tried from bobbi-harlow and got the following
problem, and later tried from a dialup machine and it worked fine. I also,
at aaron's suggestion, tried it from test.dialup and got the same errors as
on bobbi-harlow. Errors were as follows:
When I first tried it I got the following response:
killer of souls% redistmail car@mit.edu gender
writing to /var/tmp/ansbergc23287-distfile
Sending 1 ...
send: unable to stat draft file
/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n/ansbergc/Mail/draft
: No such file or directory
Sending 2 ...
on sending the second message it froze.
So I tried creating a draft file, in which case it froze on the first
message instead of the second.
It worked fine with the -n option. It gave the correct error messages when
I tried it on nonexistant folders and empty folders.
