Hi all,

Forgive the cross posting, but having only jus subscribed to these
mailing lists, I am not sure which group would be the best to answer
this question.

I have just installed MJ 1.94.5 for the first time on Solaris 7 with
Perl 5.005_63 and Sendmail 8.9.3

The installation worked well in fact I was impressed at how easy it
was. However, I am currently trying to test the installation as per
the INSTALL docs. I have "touched" a file called test in my lists
directory and have issued the "lists" command in the body of a mail
message. From this I get back an error:

**** No valid commands found.
**** Commands must be in message BODY, not in HEADER.

On further investigation, I have found that the ParseMailHeader
function seems to swallow up the entire contents of the mail message
thus leaving no valid commands for the rest of the program to
process. I have proved this by first writing out the entire contents
of STDIN to a temporary file and then re-reading it for the
ParseMailHeader and then re-reading it again for the rest of the main
loop. Obviously this gives me a raft of errors because the mail
header lines are not valid MJ commands but at the bottom, sure
enough, the lists command is processed and I am told that the "test"
list exists on the server.

Is this a known bug and if so, is there a fix available or will I
need to hack one together myself?

Many thanks in advance
