________________________________________________________
I am running a POP3 daemon on a SS5 with Solaris 2.3.
My problem is that mail messages containing the word "from" at the
beginning of a line are chopped up and the line containing the "from"
is thrown into the bit bucket. (I know the mailboxes are From<space>
delimited )
I have tried setting the "E" flag in the Flags field for all the
mailers identified in my sendmail.cf to (supposedly) escape the from
in the body message - no joy.
/bin/mail has no problem reading the mailboxes - only the POP clients.
I have tried telnet to port 110 just to make sure that the client
software (Eudora) was not at fault. It isn't.
I can't be alone in this. Anybody else solved it? Even a pointer to
an FAQ (and I have looked) covering the point would help.

General opinion seems to be that Sun's sendmail is broken - get another
one. But the solution came from the summary of another post.
Special thanks for the solution (inadvertently!) to:
Roger Spaulding <ras@loveland.ramtron.com>
His summary of a reply to a request for information lead me to checking
out the Berkely POP server version 1.831. It compiled no trouble and cured
the problem.
But I STILL can't get sendmail to accept the E flag to my mailer. I
am checking out other versions.
Thanks
Mick
